From Teaching English to Universal Bilingual Education
British linguist Claire Selby came to Poland in the 1990s and brought up her children as bilingual speakers of Polish and English. Her story would have gone no further, had it not been for other parents, who asked Claire to help their children communicate fluently in both languages. Claire realised that many parents and preschools were looking for a new way to teach their children a second language.
To reach beyond her local preschool, she had to provide materials that would deliver the learning process for children, their families and preschools. This is how her first course, „English at Home”, started. It consisted of stories that presented the new language in context through bilingual scripts, reinforced with new, matching songs (SongStories). They were narrated by Claire’s bilingual daughter Zenia, with the songs sung by children who were native speakers of English.
The course attracted the attention of, among others, Waldemar Miksa, who took an interest in it as a father, but at the same time as a producer and publisher. Having tried out the course on his children, he could see how effective it was and saw the possibilities of further developing this product into an educational system. He oversaw the production of “Baby Beetles”, and in 2012, he formulated the principles and aims of the „Bilingual Future” programme.
