The VirtuLApp toolkit provides examples of good practices for creating a multilingual classroom. Four new videos have recently been added to this toolkit. In the first one, Principal Paula Dargan of Scoil Bhríde (Cailíní) explains why they welcome pupils to use their home languages within the classroom, in the yard and with their peers. In the second video, we take a look at the classroom activities in which pupils speak 8 different languages, and hear recommendations for other teachers. In the third video, Prof Jasone Cenoz explains the term translanguaging and aim of pedagogical translanguaging and spontaneous translanguaging. In the fourth video, Prof. Durk Gorter talks about their translanguaging project in Basque, Spanish and English language classes in the 5th and 6th grade of primary school, where Basque is the medium of instruction. You can watch these videos here.
