Carool Public School is learning Japanese!!
Japanese lessons will be taught to ALL students K-6. Mrs Miller will be coming to Carool every second Monday for 3 hours. Learning a language is a wonderful opportunity for students to broaden their view of the world, Australia's place in the world, and the many communities living here.
Advantages of your child learning another language:
- Communication: your child learns to communicate in the language and develops an understanding that there is more than one way to interact with people.
- Academic: your child learns about how languages work and their literacy skills are enhanced because a clear link exists between learning another language and literacy development in English.
- Critical thinking: your child's analytical skills are increased along with their ability to transfer skills across languages.
- Cognitive: your child's problem-solving skills are enhanced along with thinking laterally and working collaboratively.
- Personal: your child's self-confidence, self-esteem, resilience and tolerance are increased.
- Cultural: your child develops an understanding and respect for other cultures, people, their ideas and ways of thinking.
- Vocational: your child's career opportunities will be greater in an increasingly globalised market.
- Social: your child's global connections are enriched
