The aim of the workshop is to bring together resources, approaches and ideas for harnessing multilingualism in linguistically diverse learning environments.  The key questions that will be running through workshop include:  

​

• What are current pedagogies being used to harness multilingualism?  

• How adaptable are they for different settings/teachers/approaches? 

• How can we best overcome barriers to multilingual approaches in classrooms?  

• What would a collaborative online ‘harnessing multilingualism toolkit hub’ look like and how can we develop a sustainable resource?
