Not long ago when new arrivals came as parents to schools, with their children, they allowed the school to educate their child and due to the language barriers often did not set their feet into the school again. As schools are increasingly engaging more with parents teachers this week are feeding back to us that times are changing and increasingly ‘Parents are now asking (and expecting) us for letters in their language’. Once they have the letters they request newsletters and expect to be treated as any other parent.
Our Members have been reporting that they are finding Text Tutor with its availability of over 50 languages allows them to send out letters etc. personalised to their school. Initially they believed it was just software with predetermined sentences and were worried that the sentences they need were not available, but with use they realise that they can just use it for whatever they need. This indeed allows personalisation to their school and their parents/children or community. This is the value of the resource it allows anytime, anywhere instant translation.
As parents gain confidence as does their expectations and become more than happy to enter school and talk using Two Can Talk (26 languages spoken aloud) as the intermediary to talk to the teacher about their children. This way teachers and parents feel more in tune with each other and it is becoming a real collaboration.
