UKLA Viewpoints: Multilingualism and home language

• Children’s home language and literacy experience needs to be recognised and built on in the classroom.

• Effective learning and teaching for bi-/multilingual (and all other) children offers opportunities for meaningful contexts in which to read, talk and write.

• A secure, authentic learning environment for language teaching uses culturally relevant resources and offers collaborative learning experiences.
