Vienna International Mother tongue Staff meet two times a year to Exchange thier language, culture and national Cousin to empowerment the Mother Tounge teaching in Vienna Schools.
Vienna International School was a pioneer amongst international schools in recognizing the importance of additive bilingualism – that is, the continuing development of our students‘ home languages while at the same time learning the school language of English. There is a lot of research to show that children who have a strong foundation in their home language are more successful at school than monolinguals and enjoy a greater feeling of self-worth and identity.
Both the Primary and Secondary schools at VIS are truly international in that the majority of our students speak a language other than English as their first language. An extensive list of Mother Tongue language teachers is maintained by our two Mother Tongue Coordinators, which includes the many languages listed below. At the moment, approximately 20% of all students in both schools are enrolled in mother tongue lessons. Approximately 30% of all International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma level students at VIS take mother tongue as part of their IB Diploma Programme.
A wonderful asset in both schools is also the international book collection in the libraries. For example, the Primary school offers over 3000 books in 60 different languages.
The Mother Tongue Amharic programme was instituted in 2009 in the Primary School. The policy of the Primary and Secondary mother-tongue heads is to encourage all parents to understand the importance of the mother-tongue for their children. Thanks for the donation of some Parents there are some Amharic books in the Primary School.
Mother Tongue lessons are available:
- To all students from GP-G12
- Usually 1x/week after school for Primary School children; as many times/week as negotiated with the teacher for Secondary School students
- Taught by suitable private teachers for individual or small-group lessons
- At a cost according to the size of the group and determined by the private teacherLanguages Offered

International Mother Language Day 21 February
International Mother Language Day has been observed every year since February 2000 to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism.
More than 50 per cent of the approximately 7,000 languages spoken in the world are likely to die out within a few generations, and 96 per cent of these languages are spoken by a mere 4 per cent of the world’s population. Only a few hundred languages have genuinely been given pride of place in education systems and the public domain, and less than a hundred are used in the digital world.
Obtaining a quality education is the foundation to improving people’s lives and sustainable development.

- Leaves students with more flexibility in thinking, greater sensitivity to language, and a better ear for listening
- Improves a child’s understanding of his/her native language
- Gives a child the ability to communicate with people s/he would otherwise not have the chance to know
- Opens the door to other cultures and helps a child understand and appreciate people from other countries

International Mother Language Day 21 February
Why We Should Celebrate – The most important element of this day is that it reminds us and the world that our native languages are not only important but that they represent us on very deep levels as individual human beings. We should all have the right to speak our mother tongue if we so choose and to pass it on to our children no matter where we live!
International Mother Language Day was proclaimed by UNESCO’s General Conference in November 1999. The International Day has been observed every year since February 2000 to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism. Languages are the most powerful instruments of preserving and developing our tangible and intangible heritage. All moves to promote the dissemination of mother tongues will serve not only to encourage linguistic diversity and multilingual education but also to develop fuller awareness of linguistic and cultural traditions throughout the world and to inspire solidarity based on understanding, tolerance and dialogue. On 16 May 2007, by resolution 61/266, the General Assembly proclaimed 2008 as the International Year of Languages, to promote unity in diversity and international understanding, through multilingualism and multiculturalism.Links to UN and UN System sites:United Nations:

a) as an elective exercise (unverbindliche Übung) -at primary school (Volksschule – grades 1 to 4) -at special school (Sonderschule – grades 1 to 5)
b) as an elective exercise or elective subject (Freigegenstand) – at general secondary school (Hauptschule – grades 5 to 8) -at primary school – upper bracket (Volksschuloberstufe – grades 5 to 8) -at special school (Sonderschule – grades 6 to 8) – during the pre-vocational year (Polytechnische Schule – 9th grade)
c) as an elective exercise (unverbindliche Übung) or elective subject (Freigegenstand) under the current school autonomy – at academic secondary schools (allgemein bildende höhere Schulen) – at medium-level vocational schools (berufsbildende mittlere Schulen), such as business schools (Handelsschulen) – at higher-level vocational schools (berufsbildende höhere Schulen), such as business academies (Handelsakademien)
Elective exercise (unverbindliche Übung): Students selecting this option do not receive a grade in their annual report or school report, or in the case of special students in their school attendance record.
Elective subject (Freigegenstand): Students selecting this option receive a grade in their annual report or school report, or in the case of special students in their school attendance report. Class organization:
1) in parallel with classes: students are taught in a group during normal class hours 2) as part of a class: instructors for mother tongue classes work as a team with the class/subject instructors 3) afternoon classes (if not enough students register for a class, children from different classes and schools can be taught in class together).
Participation in these classes is voluntary and free of charge, but we recommend that you take advantage of this option for your child. Language skills imparted at home can be reinforced and improved. Students who have a good knowledge of their mother tongue often do better in German and other subjects.
The principal’s office at the school your child attends has further details on e.g. languages, number of hours a week and which schools offer mother tongue instruction.
PLEASE COMPLETE THIS FORM AND RETURN IT TO THE SCHOOL WHICH YOUR CHILD IS ATTENDING!
