My 5 y.o. asking a family member, in English : "What Greek word is the same in French?" Received the answer : "McDonald's!" 🤣
Of course, he was hoping to elicit the word κακά / caca... C'est kif-kif! 🤣

Shane Leaning presenting on stage at a TEDx event, wearing a navy blue suit jacket and white shirt, speaking to the audience with the iconic red TED letters visible in the background.

Wow. 8 years since I gave this talk.

50K shares on the TED website and I’ve learnt a lot in that time. It was the great Jim Cummins who said,

“To reject a child’s language in the school is to reject the child.”

Don’t you agree?

Translanguaging in Multilingual Families: Evidence from Cyprus, Estonia and Sweden | Journal of Multilingual Theories and Practices This study examines translanguaging practices in Russian-speaking families in Cyprus, Estonia, and Sweden, demonstrating how multilingual family communication challenges societal norms. It shows that multilingual families do not operate within a single linguistic repertoire but rather navigate multiple languages simultaneously. Focusing on how language ideologies and policies shape linguistic interactions, we analyzed data from 60 immigrant and minority families. Our findings highlight diverse translanguaging strategies employed at home and in public spaces, reflecting local sociopolitical contexts. In Cyprus, translanguaging is supported by a robust Russian-speaking community infrastructure, contrasting with Estonia's shift toward integrating Russian within certain domains amid historical tensions. In Sweden, Russian-speaking families face greater linguistic isolation but exhibit adaptive strategies in multicultural settings. This research underscores translanguaging as a tool for challenging monolingual norms and affirming linguistic diversity. Through a comparative analysis, it advances our understanding of translanguaging dynamics across different societal and cultural landscapes, emphasizing the importance of contextualized language policies in multilingual societies.

‘English-only’ English medium instruction: Mixed views in Thai and Vietnamese higher education Emerging from the growing body of work on English medium instruction (EMI) in higher education are challenges to policy implementation, particularly when it is implemented top-down without a careful needs analysis or when it fails to address problems associated with ‘English-only’ implementation and so-called ‘native speaker’ norms.
