Are teachers plurilingual? Should they be? Are they aware of their plurilingual status? Do teachers call upon their own language resources to teach plurilingually? Do teachers really believe in plurilingualism? What relationship do teachers have with their own languages? Is this important? How can we help teachers step out of their comfort zone?
This workshop hosted by the University of Glasgow aims to address these issues by referring to teachers' plurilingual wellbeing. This concept is defined as the result of becoming aware of and valuing the potential of one’s own language repertoire and feeling comfortable with using it in a variety of personal and professional contexts. Studies point to how fostering plurilingual wellbeing among teachers will greatly benefit their teaching practices and ultimately their students’ learning.
