Lecture by E. A. Khamraeva: "Methods for Developing Communicative Competence in Bilingual Children"

Dear Parents,​

You are invited to attend a lecture by Elizaveta Alexandrovna Khamraeva, a leading specialist in bilingual education, Doctor of Education (Pedagogy), and founder of the research school “Methods for Developing Communicative Competence in Bilingual Children.”​

You will learn what aspects of childhood deserve special attention, what is unique about our children, how they are similar to us and how they differ significantly, how to teach a bilingual child, why bilingual children often do not enjoy the modern traditional Russian school system, and more. You will be able to ask the questions that matter most to you about your child’s future education and receive answers.​

Key topics: Features of teaching today’s children​

  1. The modern child’s world: why a child doesn’t want to learn and how to motivate them.​
  2. An English or a Russian school: which education system suits a bilingual child?​
