Teaching Children of Migrant Workers Their Mother Tongue. The CDCC's Project No. 7: "The Education and Cultural Development of Migrants."
Perotti, Antonio, Comp.
A seminar held in Italy was in line with the Council of Europe's project activities for dealing with educational problems caused by the rapid transformation in social groupings, in the wake of increasing labor-market mobility and migratory phenomena. Four themes were discussed: (1) official strategies set up in certain European countries with large immigrant populations, (2) redefinition of educational values in learning the mother tongue, in relation to cultural affinities and personality development, (3) strategies for collaboration between host country institutions and teachers of the mother tongue to achieve shared curricula, and (4) preparation of operational teaching methods on intercultural themes. The two working groups covered: collaboration among teachers, methods of teaching the mother tongue in the emigration situation, basic preparation of teachers, and the relationship between the cultures concerned and teachers. This report reproduces two of the four lectures and the working groups' conclusions. A program schedule and list of participants is included. (JMM)
