FAQ 常見問題
3/小朋友之間的語言交流如何進行?
3/How does the language exchange work?
你的小朋友會和一位以另一語言為母語的小朋友進行活動和書寫練習。當然，每組的人數會視乎當天參加的總人數而定。其實小朋友就如一張白紙，你不用害怕小朋友不習慣和別的小朋友溝通。人類天生是懂得用身體語言來溝通。初時的不習慣如在課堂上大哭是司空見慣的，習慣了上課的流程便行！
(開首的時候家長可陪同參與，但長遠來說我們並不太建議家長在場，因為家長在場會或多或少影響小朋友之間的自然文化交流)
Your kid will be arranged to work with chinese-speaking kid to carry some activities or having several kinds of writing and drawing practices. We'll try and split up the class into pairs or small groups, depending on the exact number of participants on the day of activity. It may help to do half the time in English, half in Cantonese, but it's flexible. You may choose to accompany with your kids during the activity. But we do not suggest doing so in long term, as it will affect the effectiveness of the natural language and cultural exchange among them.
