TIE HoyA multilingual study plan: where do Chinese, English and Spanish fit?
Allocate language tasks across lessons, everyday life and reading at home. Check the time involved.
How should I divide Chinese, English and Spanish?
Assign a real task to each language before assigning time.
Use your actual school requirements, daily needs and home reading; a plan does not need three equal blocks.
How do I turn that into a plan?
Write one next task, a partner or resource, and a realistic time for each language.
Bell’s multilingual guidance supports individual needs and home-language literacy, not one timetable for everyone.
What to do
Build three task rows; remove clashes before adding more practice.
Bring
- Chinese: home reading or discussion need
- English: an actual classroom communication task
- Spanish: a safe everyday communication need
Steps
- List the language actually used in each lesson and daily situation.
- Write one current need for Chinese, English and Spanish; mark what you can already do.
- Add a next task, a suitable person or resource, and an available time to each row.
- Check clashes with homework and other commitments; adjust the plan together after trying it.
Basis
Bell supports individual learning and home literacy; Cervantes supplies everyday Spanish goals. This is a planning worksheet.
More questions
Must every school use the same language roles?
No. Check your own lessons and home languages before choosing tasks.
