Multilingualism and Foreign Language Didactics in Europe

(ENL387) -  Dr Maria Stathopoulou

Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

This course aims at familiarizing students with new forms of languaging and communication emerged in multilingual societies (e.g., translanguaging, polylanguaging, metrolingualism, cross-language mediation, code-crossing, code-meshing) and at enabling them to generate syllabi and educational materials the goal of which will be to achieve their learners’ multilingual literacy.  

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

  • effectively use the terms: multilingualism and plurilingualism.
  • adopt new teaching methods in today's multilingual classrooms focusing on languages as resources rather than on languages as systems to be taught, thus facilitating a shift from monolingualism to multilingualism. Trainees will be able to organise the class and activities in such a way as to facilitate the use of different resources that pupils may bring in the classroom.
  • design materials aiming at developing their learners’ translanguaging strategies.
  • creatively use a variety of European tools for developing and assessing multilingual competence (e.g., the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), The European Language Portfolio (ELP) etc).
