Cultural coaches sought for Duffy students

West Hartford - Duffy Elementary School students are seeking cultural coaches to assist in content creation for a cultural language website.

The 5th grade students are part of a project called “The Global World Within Our Borders” and are researching the top seven languages (beyond English) spoken within West Hartford.

More than 24 percent of residents speak a language other than English in their West Hartford homes, according to teacher Clare Taylor.  The new website will feature cultural research reports, customs, traditions, conversational phrases and etiquette.

West Hartford resident coaches are sought for the following languages; Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese, Nepalese, Portuguese, Russian, and Urdu.
