At Sekolah Ciputra, we embrace and celebrate the rich linguistic and cultural diversity of our learning community. The EAL (English as an Additional Language) & Translanguaging Professional Learning Community (PLC) plays a vital role in supporting multilingual learners across the Primary Years Programme (PYP).
Over the past three years, our PLC has developed strategic initiatives to foster inclusive, language-rich environments where students thrive both academically and personally. Central to our work is the Translanguaging Toolkit—a dynamic resource designed to help educators support language development while honoring students’ cultural identities.
Key Focus Areas
- Adaptable Classroom Resources: Practical tools and strategies that can be seamlessly integrated into daily instruction to support multilingual learners.
- School-Wide Translanguaging Toolkit: A structured, research-based framework that empowers teachers to embed translanguaging practices into their teaching.

- Celebrating Language and Identity: Whole-school initiatives that recognise and uplift students’ mother tongues, cultural backgrounds, and personal stories
Our Commitment
The EAL & Translanguaging PLC is more than just a professional group—it is a collaborative space for shared learning, reflection, and innovation. We believe that every language counts and every identity matters. Through translanguaging, we aim to create an empowering learning experience where students feel confident expressing themselves fully and authentically.
