I think that the most important of all is to design material in order to cover the needs of your classroom. Personally I find it very important to promote multiculturalism because I work with students from different socio-cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Also I am an advocate of promoting critical thinking in classroom so my advice would definitely be related with creating material that gives the opportunity to students to become active members in class and in community.

Hello everyone.

Hello everyone. This is my contribution inspired by the term translanguaging coined by Ofelia Garcia. Pictures have been taken from the Facebook public group “MULL- Map of Urban Linguistic Landscape, an online, collaborative project open to all, with the aim of mapping the global linguistic landscape. The task has been designed to promote multilingualism and multiculturalism in classroom.

I would like to shere here here in this discussion a video I encountered in an attempt to expose my students to different accents. I think that what is more important when teaching any language is give students the opportunity to dive into sounds. It is a way to enhance the cultural elemants connected with a language and provide them with the chance to create language identity.

Dear all

Dear all,

I think that I might be among the ones to submit my assignment so late. So sorry about that but I have been under great pressure for a while and I went through a very stressful period of time due to my Master degree exams. Thankfully all went well. This task is designed to cover the needs of a refugee learners as well as to promote multiculturalism and inclusion.

Where would you like to see yourself 12 months from now, in terms of being a materials writer?

Where would you like to see yourself 12 months from now, in terms of being a materials writer?

I'd like to be done on my book about swearing for ESL learners. I'd also like to have a blog where people can share materials. It's a lot and very huge goals but why not. Go big or go home.

So super late. Sorry about this. Was visiting family overseas. Here is my assignment.
