Nell has opened not a world but a new universe for my profession .. With my little children who were born mainly in Italy but in the house they hear talking in their mother tongue ... I will try to understand more fully how much part in their life is given by the language of origin ...
I had noticed to myself in a very sporadic way, I would say almost picturesque, out of curiosity, not out of real professional interest. My teacher perspective is changing ...
The drawing of the human figure with the crossing of the tongue is also very interesting. I'll try!!!

I have the impression that multilingual pedagogy is easier in primary schools than in secondary ones. What do you think?

# data[].attributes.body
Romania Very interesting! Thanks!

# data[].attributes.body
It was an interesting webinar. it inspired us alot how to boost up our students involvement.

Great webinar ! Each of us should give more confidence to students in themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Very interesting! Thanks!

# data[].attributes.body
nice seminar. it was useful and i have learned many things. it is important that every teacher be aware about their students, about their potential and strenghths

# data[].attributes.body
Really thought provoking, a lot of potential to be unlocked in our plurilingual students. Coming back to the webinar recording is really useful too. We definitely do need to shift attitudes that the monolingual student with academic language is the ideal and embrace the skillset of the plurilingual student in planning our classes

Thank you, Nell, for such an interesting presentation, I think it is absolutely great! I loved the referrences to children's work and all the examples, I will try to find the way to implement some of what I've learned.

# data[].attributes.body
Very interesting

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't follow the webinar but I have seen the record. It is very interesting and I will applicate the suggestion of Ms. Foster during my lessons

# data[].attributes.body
I highly appreciate Ms. Foster´s presentation. This is a good introduction to recognize "Multilingual Pedagogies in Practice" as a strategy to get to know our students better and adapt our teaching on a daily basis.

For me it was impossibile to attend the webinar but I hace seen the recording and I have readen the slides. Very interest! THnk you so much Nell

# data[].attributes.body
Just watched recording. Super informative webinar with a lot of interesting points. It was useful to view how educators can adapt their classes keeping the given advices in mind. Excellent work Nell!

# data[].attributes.body
inspiring webinar: I think that a first step to apply linguistic diversity during the learning pathways is to develop and stimulate the motivation of intrigue in the students

# data[].attributes.body
Useful ideas, inspiring people.

# data[].attributes.body
A very perfect and inspiring webinar.Thank you so much..

# data[].attributes.body
I have just watched the recording of the webinair. I find it very interesting.It is important to be aware that plurilingual people have a better focus on tasks and they have more competences even if with different levels. Thank you for sharing with us.

# data[].attributes.body
Great insights and ideas by Nell. Thank you

# data[].attributes.body
Thank You very much. Really an interesting webinar

I couldn´t attend the webinar on 5th October. I’ve just watched the recording and I found it very interesting. So, I decided to register some of Nell’s ideas. It’s important to reflect about how to deal with linguistic diversity in the classroom and how to maximize opportunities around diversity. A plurilingual person has a repertoire of languages and competences of different kinds and levels within the repertoire. That’s why you might be able to speak in a language, but you might not be able to write in it; you might be able to watch television, but you might not be able to speak and have a conversation. Native speaker perfection is the highest aim, we must not become discouraged because we have an ever-changing repertoire which changes from one year to the next. The plurilingual brain contains multiple language functions that interact: when you use one language, you are also activating the other languages at the same time. They don’t function in perfect harmony all the time like the wheels of your bicycle. There are very few bilinguals who function like that. Bilinguals need to constantly negotiate, move, change linguistic situations with their different language competences and making decisions all the time. When bilinguals talk to each other, their conversations switch from one language to the other. Mixing languages is not dangerous. Schools are very monolingual in their structure and in their aims: “monolingual habitus” (Gogolin’s expression). The languages which are valued are just the languages of education.

I’ve never reflected about the different stages of being bilingual: French monolingual; French dominant bilingual; balanced bilingual; other language dominant bilingual; other language dominant: emergent bilingual!

The goals of multilingual pedagogies are the following: develop a critical awareness of plurilingualism (individual, community, society); value, preserve, develop the home language and encourage awareness of language(s); use languages in meaningful way and as a social and cultural resource, scaffold and support academic tasks and school language development.

How to start using other languages in the classroom: allow, encourage, enable. First, allow pupils to use additional languages in class. Second, support, encourage and celebrate the use of additional languages for learning and creative expression; finally, plan teaching learning and resources to support cognitive and creative engagement in multiple languages.

I appreciated the really examples a lot: language portfolios; language passports (how many languages they know and where they use them); comparing writing systems, different ways of telling a story to develop metalinguistic awareness; comparing languages to enable pupils to notice differences; creative multilingual projects (writing a story in two languages, multilingual poems); charting home languages; sharing books and newspapers with children; mind maps with all the languages in the classroom; writing a recipe in 2 languages; metaphors in different languages (matching game); Maths: how many sides has the figure? The answers are in different languages.

Translanguaging as a pedagogy, as communicative practice and as a pedagogical approach. The first language is a “stepping stone.” “We can learn about the languages and cultures of the others in class.” “I feel free when I can use my mother tongue.” “We are a mini googletranslate for the teacher.”

As teacher you can be assimilative, supportive or inclusive. You can use home languages as a vehicle or support for learning. Additional languages not just one element but a central part of the lesson. Pupils grouped in mixed language groups.

My discipline is a international language, images are words...than...i've build a dictionary to translate one image in to different languages and one word in many imagines of different cultures . It is very nice to use with the students coming from different countries.

# data[].attributes.body
Well, I couldn´t attend the webinar as I fell ill but have just watched and it´s just fantastic all the great ideas Nell shares. It´s a completly change in teachers´ mindset. I was taught NEVER to use Portuguese or translate anything. This is a totally different approach ! Thamk you so much for sharing.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't follow the webinar but I watched the video.It was very useful.

# data[].attributes.body
I really loved what Nell said. I realized that many of these idea were in my brain but she' s arrived to make them concrete. Unfortuntely I could not follow the webinair but I equally appreciated her advice.Particularly I appreciated Language portfolio and Language passports.

# data[].attributes.body
The webinar was very interesting. Thank you Nell. I like the idea regarding posters in different languages as collaboration work.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn t match it....
Thank you for the presentation!

# data[].attributes.body
I attended the webinar and I received a lot of suggestions and interesting ideas to exploit the richness of cognitive ideas coming from diversity.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks Nell. I have particularly appreciated your advice. I can't wait to put what I've learned into practice and experiment it with my students.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you Nell. The webinar was very interesting

Unable to watch the webinar, it was good to catch up later on and also read comments left here by other participants, with reference to methodologies applied in their classrooms.

# data[].attributes.body
I could not attend the webinar but I have watched the recording because of working.Thanks

# data[].attributes.body
The seminar was very interesting, thanks. I've been in a Canadian school for a couple of weeks two years ago. They were learning both in French and in English. One day the lessons were in English, the day after were in French. In the classes there were children from north Africa and from Asia. All of them could easily switch from one language to another. It's been a very interesting experience for me.

# data[].attributes.body
I deeply regret that I missed it :(

# data[].attributes.headline
It was impossible for me to take part to the webinar. I watched the recording and I think that there are a lot of interesting ideas and suggestions. I have experience of lesson CLIL but I didn't have ever a multilingual class. Thus I think that the slides of Nell are a real help to be more aware about pedagogical strategies. I appreciate some input as "scaffolding", "Encoureging", "portfolio": I hope to spend them in my next lessons.

I m sorry I couldn't join the webinar
What the strategies do you suggest to include in the curriculum of the courses from Portugueses teachers became more prepared for this reality, explicitly theaters without foreigner language preparation.

# data[].attributes.body
thank you Nell

# data[].attributes.body
n Portugal we have a problem with our curriculum, we have to comply with the conte

# data[].attributes.body
I couldn' t attend the webinar on 5th October but I watched the recording. In my opinion it' s very useful. I agree with Nell about competences of different kinds and levels within the repertoire that a plurilingual person has got.

# data[].attributes.body
I couldn't attend the webinar, but 've watched the recording later. I find it very interesting. I've understood that I'm not the only resource for pupils to learn a language.
I hope to improve my teaching method.

# data[].attributes.body
Hello Nell.
What strategies do you suggest to convince the most skeptical teachers in my organization to adhere to linguistic diversity within the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Sorry:
1.- idea of sharing posters, creative task mixing different languages. That's a real approach of life!, so, for that reason I totally agree,
2.- Inspired by: assimilative, suportive & inclusive approach of  Chumak..
3.- learing to be able to allow creative expression (always coming for critical thinking & active learning attitudes) is a must

# data[].attributes.body
I couldn't attend the webinar neither..so here you have my 3 comments after watched it:
1.-

# data[].attributes.body
Even if I couldn't attend the webinar, I 've watched it an I found it very interesting because it helped me to think about the practical activities wu could do in class

# data[].attributes.body
I could`t attend the webinar but I`ve just watched the recording. Great ideas! Thank you!
