When we ask a mother tongue teacher what the best part of the job is, they answer:

"Language is a resource we should take advantage of, and language is very important for one's identity. As mother tongue teachers, we have the opportunity to connect the child with society and reduce the gap between student, home, and school. We strengthen the children socially and give them a place to dare to speak in school. For newly arrived children, we are an adult they can talk to in their language, which has a great impact on the child's ability to enter school and feel comfortable."
