Please join us for a special screening of the award-winning PBS Documentary Film Speaking In Tongues:
4 kids. 4 languages. 1 city. 1 world. 56 minutes. CC. Subtitled in Mandarin, Spanish and English.
At a time when 31 states have passed “English Only” laws, four pioneering families put their children in public schools where, from the first day of kindergarten, their teachers speak mostly in a foreign language. Speaking in Tongues follows four diverse kids on a journey to become bilingual. This charming story will challenge you to rethink the skills that Americans need to succeed in the 21st century.
Following the screening, we will host a lively conversation with local filmmakers & SFUSD immersion parents Ken Schneider and Marcial Jarmel (along with some special guests TBA).
