Great news!!!! The OurLOTE Project has been funded for another year, thanks to the British Association for Applied Linguistics (BAAL) and the Universities of Leeds and York St John. We are now 🎉OurLOTE-York🎉 celebrating languages other than English used in the City of York.

[Prof Becky Muradás-Taylor @DrBeckyMT]

Had a fantastic experience discussing multilingual York yesterday at @YorkFestofIdeas. So much passion for languages!! And some great ideas from the audience to make languages more visible in York - and promote language use - such as multilingual signage and a multilingual café.

So many fascinating topics to explore again at York Festival of Ideas today! Who's joining us? 🤩💛 #YorkIdeas

Any language teacher friends local to York fancy this?

[Prof Becky Muradás-Taylor @DrBeckyMT]

Looking forward to talking about the @OurLOTE Project at this event - Thurs 8th June 7 pm at @YorkStJohn University.

We'll watch two short films (made thanks to funding from @__BAAL, @UCML, @LCSLeeds, @ysjschoolofelp) and discuss how to celebrate and promote languages in York.

Have been looking back at the lovely film we made celebrating languages used by students and staff at York St John University...

... as Alfie, Nooran and I (the @OurLOTE team) work on a new film celebrating languages used in the City of York.

The OurLOTE Project promotes the use of LOTE languages, but WHY is it so important to be able to speak a second/third language? Take a look at *some* of the reasons why!

Learning a new language already? Why not submit an OurLOTE video? Our new deadline is April 30th!

As someone who went through all three of these worries when making my OurLOTE-York submission, I want to let anyone who plans on making a video but has worries know: we understand, we relate and we are proof you CAN do it! ✨Will we see your submission soon?

Because who doesn’t love some statistics? 💁🏻‍♂���

OurLOTE-York is getting more diverse by the week! Can you speak any of these languages? Or maybe you can speak a language that hasn’t been included yet?
