The Garden of Words

Language Learning the Montessori way

We are developing a Montessori Language Learning program where children will explore learning materiales across key areas of this prepared environment specially designed for additional language acquisition.

Support Montessori research informed practice or else Suport research informed practice in Montessori - whichever is more overarching

Your donation will help create innovative learning resources for language learning using Montessori principles for their design and production that will be trialed and used in various Living Labs across the globe. At Garden of Words we are a collaborative of Montessori and non-Montessori practitioners, researchers and interested people working together on a voluntary basis to create bilingual and multilingual learning environments for children and young people. With your support, the scope and reach of our project can reach more corners of the world.

Why your support matters:

  • Brings innovation to the forefront of language learning using the Montessori method

  • Empower practitioners develop their language learning practice

  • Support innovative learning environments in diverse settings
