Minister for Children and Young People to the University to hear about the experiences of graduates of our Early Years Pedagogue Masters Degree programme.
How some people claim to be "researching" #linguistics, #Sociolinguistics, #Bilingualism, #multilingualism, #translanguaging (the list goes on!) when even their own thesis does not mention any of these words not even once, is beyond me...🤷♀️ #research?

Happy World Storytelling Day! To me, the "world" in "World Storytelling Day" speaks to three aspects - being celebrated around the world, celebrating stories from all over the world, but also celebrating the linguistic diversity in which stories are told. 🧵1/6
