Parent Home Language Helpers

The Parent Home Language Helpers (PHLH) is an initiative in which parents support the learning through the use of their Home Language. For example, our wonderful PHLH are great at coming in and sharing a story in their home language, or helping learners understand more about other languages and cultures. 

 If you would like to be part of the PHLH, please leave your details here and we will get back to you.

 If you have any questions, or would like to find out more about this, please contact Ms. Ondine at onul@patana.ac.th
