Produktbeschreibung
Imagine that you were a child in a foreign country and you could not understand one word of the local language. At school, the teacher motivates you and your peers to express not only verbally, but in a variety of such "languages" as mask performing, fine arts, movement, music, etc. You are not totally mute anymore, and you have the possibility to participate and show your talents. The intermodal learning method offers a framework wherein the expression in these different art modalities is central. The method helps to develop the personal and the social, as well as the cognitive competence beside learning the new language. It helps to reduce violence and racism and supports the creation of a good atmosphere within the classroom.

Rezensionen
"In the wake of the new migrations, cultures around the globe are challenged in the very substance of understanding - language. This break down often gives way to violence and racism. Finally, here is an ingeniously written book, by an accomplished, thoughtful practitioner, who tackles the matter at one of the sources - the suffering child in a foreign culture. Children learning a new language through the universal gesture of humankind, the kaleidoscope of the artistic expression, is not only a convincing argument, it has also been classroom tested internationally. Truly an imperative reading for educators and social service professionals alike." (Professor Emeritus Paolo J. Knill, Lesley College, Cambridge, Massachusetts, Provost European Graduate School, Switzerland)
