The affordances of plurilingual speaking games for recognizing, using, and developing plurilingual competences of children and pre-service teachers
Games have long been a common activity integrated by teachers in many language learning classrooms worldwide. The change in focus from the “four skills” of speaking, listening, writing, and reading to “four modes of communication”: “reception,” “interaction,” “production,” and “mediation” in the Common European Framework Companion (2018) means that teachers need to incorporate Mediation language activities, such as translation or interpretation, …
Reflections on Addressing Educational Inequalities Through the Co-Creation of a Rubric for Assessing Children’s Plurilingual and Intercultural Competence
Recognising linguistic diversity as a person’s characteristic is arguably central to their multilingual identity and is important as an equity issue. Different indicators suggest that students with migrant backgrounds, whose linguistic diversity is often not reflected in European education systems, tend to underperform compared to their peers without migrant backgrounds. There is a dire need, therefore, to alleviate the educational inequalities t…
“I represented Tybalt in straight red lines.” Developing a multimodal approach for teaching Shakespeare to lower secondary age pupils

Despite a growing body of research that indicates the richness of meaning making offered by multimodality, written texts remain central in many formal educational settings. Factors of traditionality, time constraints, and exam pressures, often lead educators to overlook the possib…
Getting smart
Many researchers agree that awareness of agency and how it is enacted through different participants holds a key role in developing digital literacy. Recognition of the ways in which digital tools can appropriate and shape humans’ semiotic work and even act out roles in communication is part of critical digital literacy. In digital environments, humans interact with the content (not just consume it) through interfaces that may include touchscreen…
