My Linguistic Portrait
See Pages
3-4
Overview:
Our identity is shaped by the languages that we use, hear, and see around us. Each one of us makes diferent
associations with the languages in our lives, uses them for diferent purposes, and attributes diferent values to them.
One important step towards inclusion is appreciating this linguistic diversity and adopting a plurilingual approach.
Learning intentions:
Through various learning experiences, pupils should be able to…
• ond out what languages are used in their school and community
• appreciate how diferent languages are important to diferent people
• represent and express what the languages they use mean to them
• learn to sign the names of languages spoken in the classroom
• pupils can learn to sign (ISL) with the help of visuals on page 15 of My Language Passport
