The brain uses the same neurological pathways for music as it does for language acquisition, so it makes sense that music builds strong cognitive foundations for language development. Music is a universal language and therefore can particularly support children and parents with English as an Additional Language (EAL).
Join Boogie Mites Trainer Tasha, and Theodora Bogiou, founder of exSELlens, as they explore building agency in children, engaging parents, and considering EAL learners. Learn about activities that work well to aid communication and group bonding between children and educators who do not share the same language and get two original Boogie Mites songs to use in your setting to support this.
You will have access to a recording of the session for one week after the live date.
