You are misinformed.
Personally speaking I encourage multilingulism but by choice
This Govt is forcing a lots of policies on folk via ambush which is really uncool.
If the Govt was honest it would do right thing & have a referendum
Thats democracy
😂😂😂😂a Scotsman commenting on one of our official Languages with a racist slant and a coward consultant account backing him ..just laughable 😂😂😂😂😂but do carry on with the
Congratulations @SV_SLP and @VanTranTH - your session with @NSWHealth@AlliedtoKids was inspiring - and the feedback was really positive. You really demonstrated how multilingulism is a superpower fb.watch/28y6O-P14n/
Dr Gulube cherished multilingulism. He was a true humble commited South African who served the public service in the SANDF will excellence and a real former MK cadre. SecDef you fully understood what this struggle was all about. #RIPDrGulube
A4. Multilingulism has been stated as a option! This will be beneficial for the students who are more comfortable in their native language!! Children are sharp & English can be learned during the growing years as a language rather than medium of instruction #EdChatIND@akmittals
So while we wait (25 years) for government to develop other languages we must sit quietly while Afrikaans is used to exclude? No. If government and institutions don't do the work of inclusive multilingulism students are at least asking for no tolerance of exclusionary practices
I'll also add that this is a country of bi-/multilingulism, like most of the world. Everyone we've interacted with has spoken at least a tiny bit of English, and some are completely proficient. Quite possibly they speak several other languages too
Enjoyed learning from @ZiWang28 about motivation tensions, and discussing relevance of #EmaUshioda's "the development of ideal multilingual selves, rather than ideal L2‐specific selves" to non-dominant target language contexts @Swansea_AppLing#Multilingulism#Cymraeg
Gave my presentation in #WICAL2018
Had great discussions with @TessF10@TroyMcConachy@daniel_dauber
Interesting topics to investigate for my future research: motivational strategies to promote multilingualism, intercultural awareness/understanding in mutlingual learning ...
