Plurilingualism has "an emphasis on the use of languages in different contexts, rather than on the ‘ideal’ proficiency of a native speaker". Lots of lovely bilingual stories and thought-provoking research in this piece.

We’re very keen for #teachers and #SLTs to try the questionnaire with #bilingual and #trilingual children and tell us what they think @RCSLTResearch @EAL_naldic.
You can find all the info https://www.q-bex.or and you can email us at qbex@leeds.ac.uk.

An increased investment in languages education could return double for the UK economy. The benefit-to-cost ratio for promoting Arabic, Mandarin, French or Spanish education is estimated to be at least 2:1. @Cambridge_Uni @RANDEurope @ahrcpress
