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.
Learning intentions:
Through various learning experiences, pupils should be able to…
• find out what languages are used in their school and community
• appreciate how different languages are important to different people
• represent and express what the languages they use mean to them
• learn to sign the names of languages spoken in the classroom
