Supporting multilingual families to engage with schools

By November 20, 2024No Comments1 min read1,477 views

How can school communications become more accessible to multilingual families?

In this episode of the Language on the Move podcast, I speak to Professor Margaret Kettle about the Multilingual Glossary of School-based Terms. This is list of school-related terms selected and translated to help multilingual families connect with schools. The research-based glossary was developed jointly with the Queensland Department of Education, Education Queensland school personnel, Multicultural Australia, and community group members and families.
