Article Detail

Bilingualism Matters and the British Council warmly invite you to an online discussion exploring how recognising and including learners’ home languages can help create more equitable and supportive learning environments—and support children both in learning English and in learning through English in English-medium education.

How can these insights be applied in other educational contexts where the language of instruction differs from the languages learners use at home?

The event will begin with an introduction to the British Council’s recently published position paper on language-responsive education: Language-responsive education: The British Council’s position on inclusive language policy and practice, presented by Vanessa Komiliades, Head of Professional Development at the British Council. She will be joined by a panel of experts: Dr Nayr Ibrahim from Nord University, Dr Mir Abdullah (University of Exeter), Dr Licia Masoni (Bilingualism Matters at the University of Bologna) and Dr Anna Schwarz (Bilingualism Matters at the University of Texas El Paso).
