Notas do Editor
- Montessori Education is a world-wide movement reflecting her global vision of a better world through education. \nWe have a new opportunity to realize that vision.\n
- Montessori schools care for the whole child and aim to preserve and develop their potential in every respect so we don’t want to waste the opportunity of an early start.\n
- LOTE is valuable but requires choice: even the common benefits are not equivalent. \n\nFor example, what French and Mandarin can contribute to English literacy is not at all the same and some languages access more cultures than others.\n
- On the other hand, languages compete so that starting Japanese in children’s house can effectively deprive a child of a chance to master an indigenous language, or Italian. How can a mixed class be started on the right track for each child?\n
- The latest thinking is that the best start is to choose a first language that children can learn thoroughly, and then transfer those skills to languages chosen when the child is old enough to make a choice.\n
- Of course, in a Montessori environment, the teacher is not the sole source of knowledge but it is important that the material presented in the classroom is not in any way beyond the reach of the teacher.\n
- A LOTE easy enough to offer success to every teacher and child in primary school would mean that LOTE no longer needs to interrupt the functioning of the Montessori classroom but could be integrated into the usual program.\n Is there such a language?\n
- In case you are not very familar with this language, I have a 2.5 minute introduction here to show you.\nYou can also view it on Youtube, just google “The World of Primary Esperanto”.\n

- Dependence on specialists in primary is anomalous. Usually we don’t expect children to learn anything too difficult or too irrelevant for their teachers to know.\nSo (1) teachers model valuing of everything but LOTE and (2) only LOTE is subject to late starts, interuptions, complete restarts, infrequent lessons, unfamilar teachers and non-Montessori methodology. This no longer needs to be the case!\n\n\n
- These materials put LOTE education in the same reliable hands which successfully manage all 7 other key Learning areas, without imposing on teachers out of school hours. (Importation of supervision or enrichment relief staff during DOTT time is then freed up to be used however the teacher prefers.)\n
- 1.“Seriousness” of LOTE programs is critical to success- JLB\n3. What values do your LOTE choice convey? “rich countries matter?” Is your choice passive? (they say we should do Asian languages now) Or aggressive? (we’re too busy, let other people learn English) Or just right? (We all have other things to do than learn languages, let’s meet in the middle for a start).\n4. Not dependent on specialists\n6. Higher level thinking skills, explicit grammar, no exceptions\n7. Students may not discover a need for another language until they are adults- complete mastery of a second language will help more than a smattering of the wrong one.\n
- Lo Bianco observes that “immersion” (where children use their LOTE for school routines and some learning in other subjects) works, and this program is by far the most practical way of providing immersion opportunities in a consistent and integrated Montessori environment. \n
- A fuller exploration of some of issues, strategies and resources can be found at this website. Thank you for your time.\n
