My Project

Integrating books about Lunar New Year into a student's reading repertoire holds paramount significance in making sure students see themselves represented and in fostering language skills. Beyond the cultural enrichment that such literature provides, these books offer a unique linguistic landscape, introducing students to specialized vocabulary, idioms, and cultural expressions intricately tied to the celebration.

Reading narratives centered around Lunar New Year not only enhances students' comprehension abilities but also broadens their vocabulary proficiency, exposing them to a rich tapestry of words specific to the festivities.

As students engage with these materials, they cultivate a deeper understanding of cultural context, encouraging the application of language in meaningful and culturally sensitive ways. This linguistic immersion not only bolsters language acquisition but also promotes a holistic appreciation for diverse traditions, ultimately contributing to well-rounded and culturally competent communicators.
