BLACK ENGLISHES AS UNEQUAL ENGLISHES Gregory Paul Glasgow (2025): "However, I argue in this book that objective realities - - language ideologies, linguistic discrimination and the dominance of Global North TESOL scholarship and industries with respect to knowledge - sadly remind us of the fact that attitudes about varieties of English remain fixed on a hierarchical scale and need examining more closely.

It is VITAL that we protect the languages students join our classrooms knowing, hearing, understanding, speaking. These are leverages to acquiring English or other languages. Ignoring languages not only limits students’ participation but also endangers their confidence & identity increasing language loss. Linguistic oppression has devastating consequences. 💗 Valentina #literary #multiligualLearners #ReadingWritingELs #languageAcquisition #MLLs #bilingualkids #translanguaging #internationalliteracyday

An interesting paper on implicit/explicit language attitudes to Welsh, with a suggestion that there is a link between higher/early exposure to Welsh (from primary school age) and more favourable implicit attitudes to the language. These more favourable attitudes, it posits, in turn help to ensure that Welsh is modeled positively to speakers' children and transmitted within families to the next generation - a key pillar of success for achieving WG's Cymraeg 2050 ambition.

Qs: Survey on multilingualism in language classes: Within the PEP project (Promoting Plurilingual Education, see also https://lnkd.in/dgF3Nag4), 7 European partner universities created a survey on language use in language teaching at schools (secondary level) and universities in Europe.

We are now trying to reach as many language teachers and future langu
