Plurilingualism has "an emphasis on the use of languages in different contexts, rather than on the ‘ideal’ proficiency of a native speaker". Lots of lovely bilingual stories and thought-provoking research in this piece.

We’re very keen for #teachers and #SLTs to try the questionnaire with #bilingual and #trilingual children and tell us what they think @RCSLTResearch @EAL_naldic.

You can find all the info https://www.q-bex.or and you can email us at [email protected].

What policies do we need to support families raising bilingual infants? Our new paper with @FiblaLaia @JessKosie @ruth_kircher and Casey Lew-Williams https://t.co/Pu8pYZrtOr Non-paywalled preprint: https://t.co/bxW0P72d53 #bilingualism #multilingualism

An increased investment in languages education could return double for the UK economy. The benefit-to-cost ratio for promoting Arabic, Mandarin, French or Spanish education is estimated to be at least 2:1. @Cambridge_Uni @RANDEurope @ahrcpress

@TajSLT Talking about how family members feel about their languages and want to use them is key too - so that using home languages enhances rather than stresses family relationships. See our resource https://t.co/7kKPMh3zD2 for more info!
