Multilingualism Is The Key For Children Whose First Language Is Not English - TeachingTimes

Understanding that children with English as an Additional Language need to be engaged in their own language before they can transition successfully is one thing. Putting it into practice is another!...

Flogged for speaking my mother tongue - The solution isn’t in switching from one dominant language to another; it’s in flexible multilingualism: young people should be encouraged to use whatever they know for learning, without setting boundaries/barriers. bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-…

Nigeria wants local languages to replace English in primary education, but some say it's not practical.

So fortunate to watch the incredible Y5 performance @KensingtonSch yesterday. Amazing examples of #inclusion for all our children participating. But the highlight was the #multilingualism. Songs in Urdu, Spanish and Romanian to tell the story of Christmas. ❤️❤️❤️🎄

Our Year 2 Italian, Bengali, Hindi speaking child using his languages. What is stunning is when he explains things he switches from English to Hindi and then to Italian, depending on what he’s trying to say 🇮🇹 @KensingtonSch #multilingual #superpower

Who knew that promoting first languages this year would change mindsets @KensingtonSch Ending this year with multilingualism firmly placed at the heart of our school. Looking forward to next year when we embed this further in our curriculum. 🇬🇧 🇷🇴 🇮🇹 🇧🇩 🇪🇸 🇸🇴
