Razlozi zašto je bitno da djeca zadrže maternji jezik:
1. Djeca koja znaju dva jezika imaju akademske prednosti:
a) Za uÄenje drugih jezika, na primjer irskog, francuskog itd.
b) Istraživanja pokazuju da su dvojeziÄna djeca bolja u rijeÅ¡avanju problema, na primjer u matimatici.
c) Ako djeca mogu Äitati i pisati na maternjem jeziku, ta sposobnost će im pomoći u pismenosti engleskog jezika. Puno vjeÅ¡tina Äitanja i pisanja mogu se prenositi kroz razliÄite jezike. Za djecu je lakÅ¡e da Äitaju i piÅ¡u na jeziku kojim govore kod kuće, Äak iako u isto vrijeme stiÄu pismenost engleskog jezika u Å¡koli.
d) Roditelji mogu podrÅ¡avati djecu tako Å¡to će priÄati sa djecom o Äemu su radila u Å¡koli i tako Å¡to će priÄati snjima o domaćoj zadaći. Razgovor o ovim Å¡kolskim temama na maternjem jeziku će pomoći djeci zato Å¡to je Äesto lakÅ¡e za roditelje da objaÅ¡njavaju zadaću na svom jeziku. U tim razgovorima, djeca mogu uÄiti rijeÄi na maternjem jeziku koje su vezane za Å¡kolske predmete.
2. Znanje maternjeg jezika je vrlo važno kako zbog razumijevanja kulture Bosne i Hercegovine, tako i iz emocionalnih razloga:
a) Puno rijeÄi i pojmova koji su vezani za kulturu BiH se bolje izražavaju na maternjem jeziku.
b) Za komunicaciju u porodici, posebno izmeÄ‘u djece i Älanova porodice koji žive u BiH (ili kada djeca idu na odmor u BiH ili kada im njihovi bližnji doÄ‘u u posjetu u Irsku).
Nadamo se da ćete VaÅ¡u djecu aktivno ukljuÄiti u Bosansko HercegovaÄku Å kolu.
ÄŒekamo Vas!
_________________________________________________________________
The school was established in October 2012. Its aim is that children of the diaspora of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Ireland acquire an essential knowledge of their home language and enhance this knowledge. They will also learn about the culture and customs of their homeland Bosnia and Herzegovina, without regard to their religious faith. The work of the school is organised on a voluntary basis.
Reasons why it is important that children learn their home language:
1. Children who know two languages have academic advantages:
(a) With regard to learning other languages, for example Irish, French, etc.
(b) Research shows that bilingual children are better at solving problems, for example in maths.
(c) If children can read and write in their home language, that ability will help them with literacy in English, since many skills for reading and writing can transfer across different languages. It is easier for children to read and write in the language which they speak at home, even if, at the same time, they are acquiring English language literacy at school.
(d) Parents can support children by talking to them about what they did at school and talking to them about homework. Conversations in the home language about these school-related themes will help children’s overall learning because it is often easier for parents to explain about homework through their own language. In these conversations, children can also learn words in their home language that are connected with school subjects.
2. Home language knowledge is very important for understanding the culture of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and also for emotional reasons:
(a) A lot of the words and concepts which are connected with the culture of Bosnia and Herzegovina are better expressed in the home language.
(b) For communication within the family, especially between children and family members who live in Bosnia and Herzegovina (either when children go there on holiday or when their relatives visit Ireland).
We hope that your children will take an active part in the Bosnian-Herzegovinian School.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
