Why Do I Need to Know What Plurilingualism is?

HLP (Hybrid Learning and Plurilingualism) Project aims and goals:
The HLP Project was designed with the aim of creating online pedagogical materials on
Plurilingualism targeting bi/plurilingual students who are learning an additional language.
These materials can be embedded in a language class with the purpose of promoting
plurilingual skills/competences and critical thinking.
Educational approach and goals:
The project adopts a concept-based approach, which allow students to:
- internalize key concepts related to Plurilingualism
- use these concepts as a tool for thinking, making sense what Plurilingualism is, creating and
sharing new ideas with peers by relating these concepts to their own life experiences.
Pedagogical materials:
The online pedagogical materials consist of 4 concept videos on Plurilingualism.
These videos have been divided into sub-sequences for language class use, which are
supplemented by:
- awareness-oriented activities
- cross-linguistic activities
- identity tasks.
If you are interested in the pedagogical implementation of the videos and related activities,
please contact the Director of the HLP Project Barbara Spinelli at italian.columb....
The HLP Project was funded by the “Hybrid Learning Course Redesign and Delivery Grant”
(Columbia University, New York - Office of the Provost).
Videos have captions in: English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese
Through this video:
Students will be able to
- develop awareness of why Plurilingualism is essential for effective communication,
understanding of other cultures, and the development of global citizenship values
