[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On Thursday, the 11th, the Family Center in Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam, operated a bilingual parent-child interaction program for female marriage immigrants with children ranging from infants and toddlers to 5th-grade elementary school students (up to 12 years old).

The bilingual environment creation program consisted of a total of six sessions, including two non-face-to-face classes distributing bilingual educational activity sheets and kits to help create an environment for communication in two languages within multicultural families, and three face-to-face classes for parents.

This education was the final session of the face-to-face classes, where bilingual lessons were conducted using Pepero making?a fun activity with children?to promote wise bilingual living, including communication skills with children and ways to utilize the language of their country of origin.

Jeon Deok-gyu, Head of the Senior, Children, and Women’s Division, stated, “Through this program, we hope that mothers can enjoyably acquire their native language and that children with the advantage of bilingualism will grow into global talents.”
