We are happy to launch the hashtag #TLiswhen (#Translanguaging is when….)! We invite you to share your stories with us on Twitter on
When is translanguaging happening?
Where is translanguaging happening?
How do we translanguage?
Moments, anecdotes, images, emojis, etc.
We hope that collectively we will discover the many forms and facets in which we language in different spaces, with different people and for lots of purposes.
Resources we are creating as part of the Creative Language Practices project are to become available to schools through the Mitchell Library – with the help of the School Library Outreach team. To find out what it means in practice we visited the library and discovered a true gem: a huge room full of shelves and boxes with teaching resources on any subject you can dream about!
What was not there! Costumes, games, fluffy toys, stones, dinosaurs, objects from far away and from very close, and of course millions and trillions of books – including dual language books, books in Scots, Gaelic, Urdu, Arabic, Polish, Spanish, French, Italian, Hungarian… – just to be borrowed and read. The service is provided by the Mitchell Library to schools completely free of charge. For more details visit School Library Outreach or follow them on Twitter https://twitter.com/GlasgowSLO.
