Language coach Language & Parents

Language coach Language & Parents

Language coaches give Dutch lessons to a group of parents who do not have Dutch as their mother tongue at various primary schools and preschools in Utrecht. After the children have been brought to class, the parents themselves go to school to improve their Dutch. As a Taalcoach Taal & Ouders you will work with the Dutch language every week, together with one group of parents.

“Being a language coach has been an enrichment for me. That you can mean so much to someone with so little. I learned a lot from the group, but I also learned from the group myself. It is an experience that will stay with me for the rest of my life.” – Lucinda, language coach Language & Parents.

What do you do as a Language Coach Language & Parents?

As a language coach you weekly supervise a group of parents at a primary school or toddler center in Utrecht. After following an introductory course, you start with the language lessons with the parents. The language lessons are focused on themes related to parenting issues and the school. Think of reading the newsletter, preparing parent meetings or a discussion about healthy food. In this way we combine language goals and content goals. You will be supervised by a voluntary coordinator with whom you regularly discuss the progress of the meetings.
