New language support program starts in the Main-Taunus district for children!

In Germany, more and more children have no sufficient access to German as an educational language. This observation is particularly evident in the Main-Taunus district, where a new language training program was launched. The Insl e.V. association has developed a culturally sensitive concept that extends from early childhood to school leaving certificate. This has already been successfully implemented in the Hochtaunuskreis and is now finding its way into the Main-Taunus district. The official start of the project was on June 11, 2025, and the first measures aimed at a reach of around 300 children in the first phase, followed by 700 in the second phase. The long-term goal is to benefit from the program up to 10 % of the children in the region, reports [Taunus Nachrichten] (https://www.taunus-nachrichten.de/region/sprachbung-system-start-insl- language training programs

But what does that mean for the children concerned? The educational language is not an intuitive part of the German language; It requires active learning and targeted support. The language support concept aims to promote narrative ability, reading skills, vocabulary and written expression. In addition to direct language support for the children, the program also includes further training for the pedagogical specialists who work with children. This ensures that everyone involved is on the boat to ensure sustainable learning success.

diverse offers for children

The offer in the Main-Taunus district is equipped with a colorful range of programs. These include:

• "Language Pirates" for children from three to six years
• "Language detectives" for primary school children
• language -sensitive homework supervision
• Read with the Turbo team
• Sprachsensibles media competence training with "Learn2Prompt"
• advanced training and coaching for specialists in daycare and school

The general situation in German schools shows how important good language skills are. Many children and adolescents who speak German well in everyday life often have difficulties with the language of education, which can endanger their success in school. This is also confirmed by the "Consistent Language Education" initiative in Berlin, which is implemented in all subjects to help various student groups, especially those with non -German language of origin. These measures apply not only to the program participants in Berlin, but also to approaches such as those of the Association Insl e.V. who pursue and aim to promote and use language skills, reports the Senate Department for Education in Berlin Senate Berlin.

language promotion as a key competence

The importance of language education and language support is a central topic in the educational policy discussion. Language is viewed as a key competence for educational biographies and social participation. Researchers show that early and targeted promotion of language skills can be decisive in order to be able to actively participate in social life later. Multilingual children and adolescents often have special linguistic skills that need to be promoted to improve educational opportunities [nifbe] (https://www.nifbe.de/schwerpunktthema language formation-und- language

The initiative of Insl e.V. harmonizes well with these overarching goals. A conscious focus on the linguistic participation in everyday life of daycare centers and schools should help all children get the support they need to be able to develop their skills optimally. This not only promotes linguistic development, but also social integration, which is more important than ever today.
