Hoe ondersteun je de taalvaardigheid van alle kinderen in je klas? Onderzoek toont aan dat bij het verwerven én aanbieden van de moedertaal, de schooltaal en vreemde talen zoals Engels, veel van dezelfde mechanismen een rol spelen. Door ruimte te geven aan meertaligheid kun je het taalbewustzijn en de taalontwikkeling van meertalige én eentalige kinderen stimuleren.

The theme this year is "Promoting Collaboration among Educators, Families, and Researchers."

online event (based in Dublin)
Are you a primary school teacher or a post-primary language teacher? Do you want to provide your students who have a migrant or refugee background with more opportunities to use and develop their home language(s) at school, all while supporting raising proficiency levels in the language of schooling?
Then join us for a thematic seminar that will address such issues as literacy development, overall student well-being and motivation to engage in the learning process. The seminar will put a special emphasis on the classroom practices that can achieve simultaneous support for home languages and the languages of schooling.
This conference is organized by the SICLE in Australia. Due to COVID-19, this conference will now take place online instead of face-to face. This conference explores community/heritage language education and its key role in maintaining and developing inter-generational linguistic and cultural understandings.
