Russische Schule in Paris   www.alye-parussa.fr

For the 4th consecutive year the French Union of Russian Speakers (Union des Russophones de France) is carrying out projects aimed at developing bilingualism in young children. Over the years the URF has acquired a wide range of experience in the teaching of languages through the creative arts (various forms of drama, dance and drawing taught at summer camps) and by means of specific pedagogical methods designed to develop independent thinking in children.

It has experience in training teachers who emigrated from the former USSR.
An exchange of acquired experience in these areas would be helpful in establishing future partnership.

GROSSBRITANIEN: THE LONDON SCHOOL OF RUSSIAN LANGUAGE AND LITERATUR

www.russian-school.co.uk

The first specialist Russian Language Saturday School for bilingual Russian-English children in the UK. On completion of their education these young people will possess extremely valuable bilingual skills. The school offers an exceptionally high standard of tuition. Russian Language, Literature and History are taught to GCSE and A-Level, but pupils attain proficiency well above those levels, up to native-speaker standard (possibly equivalent to a Higher Degree in some aspects).

The School was founded in January 1998. Over 20 highly experienced native Russian teachers (at least three with a Dr. degree) work with pupils in small groups. Teachers use an individual approach to the children. Progress of each pupil is monitored. We hold termly consultations with parents and provide end-of-year school reports. The School is a member of the International Association of Russian Schools and Cultural Societies – “Eurolog”, and holds a Cup and a Diploma from the Department for Education of the Russian Federation “Best Russian School Abroad-2005″

Universität- und Hansestadt Greifswald: Amt für Jugend, Soziales und Familie

www.greifswald.de

In the municipality Greifswald youth and social welfare are perceived in a common department for youth, social and family. In the youth welfare the department is advocating the interests and needs of children, youngsters, young adults and families. The spectrum of the problems encloses, for example the supply of childcare places in the day care, day nursery. In our work many NGO´s dedicated to youth welfare support us. At the moment approx. 260 employees look after more than 1000 children in 15 kindergartens. In it´s kindergartens many children with migration background from the CIS are served which is a group with special learning needs. The office for youth, social and family of the city of Greifswald in 2011 initiated an internal program which intends a conceptual advancement of municipal kindergartens. Therefore in 5 kindergartens with a high percentage of migrant's children a new working program for education of bilingual children will be introduced. As this contains e.g. linguistic support, set up crosscultural teams..., it is necessary to carry out structural change in the allocating HR and professional education planning.

Österreich

Weltsprachen is a private language institute in Vienna, Austria, established in 2005, which provides language trainings for professionals and courses for unemployed persons and migrants in order to improve their language skills essential for professional use. Our institute is an external centre for exams according to the Austrian Language Certificate (OESD) and is certified by the Austrian Integration Fund (OEIF) for language courses for migrants - beginning from their literacy - as well. 

Our duty in the project is to work on the professional dimension of the language training: cooperating closely with the Austrian employment agency (AMS), we're dedicated to develop solutions for qualifying unemployed migrants in terms of their sustainable bi-lingual and social integration and inclusion. We also provide a network of dissemination in other European countries in order to adapt the results to other European languages. Bottom line: Weltsprachen offers a wide range of language courses - both for private entities & public authorities - with a focus on natural bilingualism. For this purpose we host teachers' seminars in our own hostel in the province of Styria (South-Eastern Austria).

SCHWEIZ: Universität Sankt-Gallen

www.unisg.ch
 

The Department of Russian Society and Culture, School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS-HSG), focuses on current phenomena in Russia, Eastern Europe and the Black Sea region in its teaching and research. 
The department is represented by Dr Elena Denisova-Schmidt, a specialist in the area of foreign language pedagogy. She has published several language textbooks and dictionaries, and serves as a co-editor of the AATSEEL Newsletter (the publishing organ of American Association of Teachers of Slavic and Eastern European Languages, USA). 
Switzerland – a multilingual country per se – supports the maintenance of heritage languages. This contributes to the learning of the state languages and thus furthers quick integration into Swiss society; moreover, this advances the study of other foreign languages and increases employability. HSK lessons (Unterricht in heimatlicher Sprache und Kultur, Engl.: Teaching heritage language and culture) is one of the tools used for this purpose. This innovation might be useful for other European countries as well.

Italien

The processes of globalization and economic integration has a direct impact on the willingness of people to migrate to other Countries. Democratization has strengthened in the population the sense of European integration and identity, the desire to become part of the European process. Due to the migration process, the European Countries are becoming increasingly multilanguage. In the first place stands the question of integration policies, taking into account the conservation of other native language and culture. 

There is a need to develop the concept of bilingual education. The education of bilingual children is complicated by a lack of common approaches to bilingual education and systematic training of teachers working with natural bilingual, considering their age characteristics (psychology, social adaptation, language difficulties).
The School of Russian Language and Culture I.Turgenev, that operates within the Chernobyl2000 "ONLUS Association, a volunteer organization, is an Italian-Russian educational and recreational center working on this problem. Our teachers use traditional lectures with a specifically designed elaborated program created by themselves and by working groups specialy for bilingual children.
Natural bilinguals are different from monolanguage people due to their psychological features (different development stages in connection with the presence of two national cultures, including those manifested in the two native languages), social features (different environments and their place in the world), and other language difficulties (to be approached with speech therapy, listening). Bilingulism could be lost using a the wrong training.

Developing thinking skills of bilingual children and teenagers, will be a priority not only at national level but also at the European one.
Our goals are:
• issues relating to the use of didactical materials;
• strengthening the activities of each student through the awakening of his intellectual curiosity & motivation;
• maintaining communication between life and teaching practice;
• implementation of a personal approach to the creative development of each individual;
• work on the maintenance and growth of the values of bilingulism

SPANIEN: Raduga

www.radugabcn.com

 

“Raduga” is a non-profit organization, the cultural association which was established in Barcelona on November 2009 (officially). But by that time we had been developing different cultural activities for some years.

Our main goal was to unite the Russian-speaking people and to create the space for our children when they could learn Russian and to know Russian traditions and history.
We have founded a Russian School for the children from 3 till 16 years old. Every Saturday we give Russian classes to more than one hundred boys and girls from Russian, mixed and Spanish families. 
So we treat with multilingual pupils as in Barcelona we have two official languages: Spanish and Catalonian.
We also promote our language and traditions among the Spanish population giving courses for our “Spanish parents”, organizing concerts, exhibitions and festivals.

Our slogan is to keep Russian language among as more people as possible and to educate our children in the atmosphere of opened mentality, freedom and multiculture.
