TIME:         7pm - 8pm
VENUE:     Online Via Zoom

Target Audience: Online Primary, Post Primary, SNA

In this interactive webinar, we’ll look at what translanguaging can look like in Irish classrooms. Because the term is shifting and complex, we’ll start with everyday routines that help learners use all their languages to make sense of new ideas – which then can strengthen their English and Irish along the way. With practical examples, flexible strategies and ready to go activities, you’ll discover how to build learning spaces where multilingual voices are welcomed, celebrated and used purposefully to support learning.
