| This site is aimed
at Primary School teachers who are interested introducing
a multilingual dimension into their lessons.
The work is a result of a one-year project called “Thinking
through Languages” which was developed within a group
of Coventry Primary Schools. The project was funded by the
Nuffield
Foundation.
This approach has been influenced by the work developed
by Eric
Hawkins in the 1980s and, more recently, that of Evlang
and Ja-Ling.
It aims to provide pupils with a foundation for future language
learning through encounters with languages from the local
and international communities.
The site provides a number of opportunities for investigating
languages together with links to multilingual materials
which will support the teacher in developing them.
Here are a range of greetings
in the different languages of the world or hear how you
can say hello.
