Here is a new toolkit to get you started I am sure that by now, after reading previous blogs, you are ready to embark on a multilingual journey! In this last blog I would like to share with you some practical tools and ideas that you can use and adapt to your environment. Multilingualism in your day to day practice If you are interested in shifting towards a multilingual approach, you will find many ideas for whole school approaches in One school, Many Languages, an interactive repository of resources, from blogs, to lesson plans, videos and podcasts, as well as articles based on the latest research and best practice from around Europe. A fantastic example of some of these ideas put into practice can be found on the St. Mary’s Primary School website. Celebrating multilingualism As we approach International Mother Language Day, we can all get creative and imagine new ways to celebrate multilingualism with our children and our community. International Mother Language Day is a celebration marked by UNESCO on 21st February to highlight the importance of cultural and linguistic diversity for sustainable societies to foster tolerance and respect for others. All over Ireland, people are now getting ready to mark the day on 21st February, and using this toolkit you can get involved too! Toolkit – mothertongues.ie/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMLD_lang_garden_up.pdf Ideas shared by teachers Here is a list of ideas shared by teachers on how to create a special celebration around multilingualism. Of course, these can work any time of the year, and you could turn some of these into regular events! - A storytelling session where parents/grandparents tell stories in their mother tongue - A podcast showcasing everyone’s language - A blog to highlight the importance of International Mother Language Day - An activity to reflect on words that are difficult to pronounce or on the pronunciation of names - An activity around idioms or metaphors from around the world - A child-led survey of languages spoken in the school - Translating school signage in all the languages of the children - A multilingual mural with words in many languages - A video or written piece where children tell a story about their language, where it comes from, facts and figure I hope that these blogs have brought you to think in a new way about languages and multilingualism!
