Main aims
- providing a visibility of different languages in the classroom/school, before starting to work language repertoires of children. Even if very limited, it helps children to feel safe and to feel ‘normal’ to talk about languages;
- valuing all languages (languages of the school curriculum, languages of origin, minority languages, dialects, but you may also consider body communication, other codes communication), not only the languages more represented, but even if only a child speaks a language;
- valuing families’ and children’s resources already present and enabling children as researchers and informants.
