Language and Literature

Students learn Tibetan language through multi-strategy approaches that include reading aloud, answering comprehension questions, shared and guided reading, writing assignments and exercises to build word knowledge, and use of classroom visual aids, storytelling, games (initiated by individual teachers suitable for different student groups) and textbooks published by the India-based Central Tibetan Administration’s Department of Education. The school will follow the Department of Education’s Common Curriculum & Textbooks, created for all weekend Tibetan language schools across North America, as soon as it is finalized and published.
