Tips for parents or carers

給父母或監護人的提示


This is a list of tips for people who are supporting young people whose first language is not English.


  • Focus on the language they need or their interests e.g. basic personal information is more important than how to spell ‘holepunch’

  • Limit how much vocabulary you practise with them e.g. people struggle to remember more than 10 new items of vocabulary

  • When correcting language be careful not to damage confidence - ask yourself can the child still be understood if they get that bit of grammar or pronunciation wrong, only try once or twice to correct a piece of language, don’t labour the point

  • Play, play, play! Depending on age then role plays such as doctors, restaurants and shopping are an excellent way of practising language. Having props / toys to set the scene and make it clear what’s happening whilst you’re acting it out is helpful

  • Leave plenty of time for the young person to speak, avoid doing all the talking for them!

  • Value their first language – try to learn a few words and phrases

  • If the young person gives a one word answer, praise their effort and model a simple sentence to show them how they could extend their vocabulary

  • Label items in your house with post it notes

  • Numbers - use money or count then steps as you walk up the stairs

  • Song - music and singing really help you remember the language. Don’t worry if you’re not tuneful, it’s not the point! Think ‘Head, shoulders, knees and toes’, ‘Old MacDonald’. If the song has actions even better, it helps the memory.

  • Use a picture dictionary e.g. The New Oxford Picture Dictionary

  • When you watch TV put the subtitles on

  • Praise the young person for any attempts at using English

  • Get arty! Drawing, painting, arts and crafts are great ways of generating language. Talk about the colours,

  • shapes, textures and what you are doing with the visual clues so that it's clear what you are talking about.

  • Avoid focusing on the art produced at the end, enjoy the process and the language

  • Be patient... young people will acquire language at different rates

Important Update: Winding Down Our Platform

 

It has been almost five years since we started HKBrits with the mission of helping those moving to the UK settle into their new lives. Over the years, we have had the privilege of supporting countless individuals and families on their journey. Now, as many have successfully settled, and with numerous other organisations offering similar support, we believe the time has come to step back and direct you to the local resources that can best assist you moving forward.

​

For future support and inquiries, we encourage you to reach out to local authorities and official organisations that specialise in providing assistance:

We deeply appreciate everyone who has been part of this journey. Thank you for your support, engagement, and contributions in making this community thrive.

 

HKBrits 自成立以來已經接近五年，我們的使命一直是幫助移居英國的港人適應新生活。過去數年，我們有幸陪伴無數個人和家庭，為他們提供支援。如今，大部分人已經成功安頓下來，而且有許多其他機構提供類似的幫助，因此，我們認為現在是時候功成身退，並將大家轉介到當地的資源，以獲得更進一步的支援。

​

如需進一步支援或查詢，請聯絡當地政府機構及相關支援組織：
