Supporting Multilingual Classrooms
PPLI provides support to help you respond to the home languages of pupils in the activities of your classrooms, and develop your pupils’ intercultural learning.
It is hoped that you will find the ideas and links given to be useful in the context of positive attitudes and appreciation of cultural diversity in the classroom and beyond, as well as fostering an interest and curiosity in learning further languages and intercultural communication.
