V. feiert sein 35-j\u00e4hriges Vereinsjubil\u00e4um.<\/p>\n<p>Der Verein verfolgt das Ziel muttersprachlich englische Kinder von Geburt an ein englischsprachiges, soziales Umfeld zu schaffen. Er bietet den Kindern unterschiedliche altersentsprechende Gruppen in denen spielerisch wie z.B. beim basteln, singen, und vorlesen aber auch durch Schreib- und Lese\u00fcbungen ihre englische Sprache gef\u00f6rdert wird. Zus\u00e4tzlich veranstaltet der Verein Familienevents wie z.B. einen Ausflug ins Vivarium, ein Sommerpicknick, eine Grillparty, eine Lesemarathon u.v.m. Die Gruppen und Veranstaltungen bieten auch eine sch\u00f6ne Atmosph\u00e4re f\u00fcr neue aus den englischsprachigen Ausland kommende Familien. Mit bereits mehr als 60 Familien welche beispielsweise aus den USA, Kanada, Neuseeland, England oder Indien stammen, ist der in der Region Darmstadt ans\u00e4ssige Verein, der Einzige der dies bietet.

Foto: G\u00fcnther Jockel<\/p>\n<p>WEITERSTADT. Wie ist es, wenn man mit Kindern in einem fremden Land lebt?<br \/>\nWelche Schwierigkeiten gibt es und wie kann man die eigene Muttersprache auch beim Nachwuchs pflegen?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Es ist wichtig, dass meine Kinder Kontakt zu anderen Muttersprachlern haben&#8221;, sagt Julia Castle. Die Engl\u00e4nderin lebt mit ihrer Familie in Griesheim, seit 1990 ist sie in Deutschland. Jede Woche besucht Castle mit ihren S\u00f6hnen Austin (2) und Joshua (5) die Internationale Kindergruppe in Weiterstadt. Den Verein gibt es seit 1975, Castle ist derzeit die Vorsitzende.<\/p>\n<p>In einem gro\u00dfz\u00fcgigen, hellen Spielraum, dem Vereinsraum in der Friedrich-Ebert-Stra\u00dfe, treffen sich verschiedene Kindergruppen. Freitags kommen die Zwei- bis Dreij\u00e4hrigen, die &#8220;Tweenies&#8221;. Auch Julia Castle ist mit ihren S\u00f6hnen da. Joshua geht normalerweise in eine andere Gruppe. Zehn Kinder und M\u00fctter sitzen an einem Tisch und kleben Papageien aus bunten Papierschnipseln. &#8220;Parrot hei\u00dft das auf Englisch&#8221;, erkl\u00e4rt Joshua. Er besucht einen deutschen Kindergarten, zuhause spricht er Englisch.<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">\n<p align=\"justify\">So ist es bei vielen der 90 Familien, die dem Verein angeh\u00f6ren. Sie stammen aus Amerika, Australien, England, aber auch Spanien, Korea oder Italien und leben im Landkreis und der weiteren Umgebung. Bei den meisten ist mindestens ein Elternteil englischsprachig. Es sind aber auch deutsche Familien dabei, die einige Zeit im Ausland gelebt haben und deren Nachwuchs die Sprache weiterhin \u00fcben soll.<\/p>\n<p>Genau das will der Verein erm\u00f6glichen: Es gibt eine Babygruppe, dann f\u00fcr ein- bis zweij\u00e4hrige Kinder die &#8220;Tiny Tots&#8221;, die &#8220;Tweenies&#8221; bis ungef\u00e4hr drei Jahre und die &#8220;Play Group&#8221; von drei bis f\u00fcnf Jahren. Ab f\u00fcnf k\u00f6nnen die Kinder dann Englischunterricht besuchen. Hier lernen sie schon die Grundlagen im Lesen oder Schreiben.<\/p>\n<p>Die &#8220;Tweenies&#8221; haben ihre Papageien mittlerweile fertig gebastelt. Schnell werden Papierschnipsel und Kleber in Kisten gepackt und machen Platz f\u00fcr kleine bunte Teller, denn es ist &#8220;Snack Time&#8221;. Der Vormittag hat sein festes Programm. &#8220;Die Gruppen hier sollen genutzt werden, englische Lieder zu singen, B\u00fccher zu lesen und zu basteln. Wir wollen au\u00dferdem die motorischen F\u00e4higkeiten der Kinder f\u00f6rdern&#8221;, sagt Karin Roy, Mutter von Sonali (2).<\/p>\n<p>Aber auch f\u00fcr Eltern bietet der Verein eine gute M\u00f6glichkeit, Kontakte zu kn\u00fcpfen, etwa bei Festen, Flohm\u00e4rkten oder dem Familienpicknick im Sommer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wenn man anfangs kein Deutsch spricht, gibt es von Tag zu Tag viele Probleme,&#8221; sagt Julia Castle. Das beginne schon beim Anmelden auf der Gemeinde oder bei der Wohnungssuche. Im Verein k\u00f6nne immer jemand weiterhelfen. Auch ihrer Landsfrau Emma Walsh tun die Kontakte gut: &#8220;Vielleicht komme ich mehr f\u00fcr mich hierher als f\u00fcr meinen Sohn Michael. Ihm ist es egal, ob die Kinder Deutsch oder Englisch sprechen.&#8221; Claire Brenschede ist mit einem Deutschen verheiratet. &#8220;Zuhause sprechen wir Deutsch. Hier sieht meine Tochter, dass es auch noch andere gibt, die Englisch sprechen, nicht nur ihre Mama.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wer sich f\u00fcr die Internationale Kindergruppe interessiert, kann sich per <a title=\"Click here to mail the group\" href=\"mailto:info@ikec.de?subject=Info%20about%20IKEC\">Mail<\/a> an die Gesch\u00e4ftsstelle wenden.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can share the Job Advert #TeachingJobs #Darmstadt #EnglishTeacher #EarlyChildhoodEducation #IKEC #Hiring 22.09.2024 &#8211; Weltkindertag Darmstadt IKEC\u00b4s stand was a full success, thanks for all the helping hands today.
