Alina Ojutkangas and Hélène Pecorelli
Today we visited Hollihaka School, we arrived at about 8.15 am. First we went to a russian lesson, there were 4 students. The students in the class are able to study two hours a week their mother tongue. After that, at about 9.00 am, we went to a finnish lesson. Alinas mother, Anne, worked as a immersion teacher. The pupils in the class are from, for example, Burma, Estonia and Sudan. Their mother tongues are; burma, karenia, estonia, kurdish, arabic, dinka, turkish and kurdi. The pupils are between 7-14 years old. Usually there are 14-15 children in the class, today there weren’t that many. After Alinas mother, Anne, got the lesson started she put Alina to help two of her students and she told us about the system how they teach the children, it was very interesting. She told us the pupils are very dedicated to learn finnish and that it takes about 5-7 years until they can study in finnish. But they learn to speak finnish fluently faster, but it is individual. After the lesson she showed us around in the school. After that we went to Pirjos lesson, she is learning english to stundents, she only speak english to her students. The students we met were on the 1st grade. They were learning about the letter ”X”. After that Pirjo read a chapter from Penguins Progress to the children. It was very interesting to be there and learn about the immersion teaching. Visit to Hollihaka School 01.04.2008
