Multilingual approaches to teaching and learning
Career Stage – Proficient
Main Focus area – 1.4
Secondary Focus areas – 2.5 & 5.1
School – Purnululu Independent Aboriginal Community School

A teacher in a remote Indigenous community is responsible for teaching literacy across all levels of the school. In the video she works initially with students in the kindergarten using an oral language focus. With a middle primary group she selects an integrated literacy experience. The lesson involves students reflecting on similarities and differences between types of communities starting with their prior knowledge. The teacher ensures that students can express their knowledge in Gija, the local Aboriginal language and in Standard Australian English. She also describes the different uses she makes of diagnostic, formative and summative assessment, emphasising the use of student portfolios.

Language Comparison: Number of Different Words

languages No Comments »

We compare some of the most popular languages in the world, what are the odds and probability of speaking certain language, which language has the most alphabets. Which language has the most words? How many words does English, Spanish, Arabic or Hindi have? What is the most difficult language to learn? What are the major languages of the world? We visualize the animated scale of alphabets, characters and words.

Disclaimer:
Only words of languages with over 20 million speakers are included otherwise the video would get too long. The only exceptions are the top 5. Thus apologies if your language is not included.
Only Alphabets with a usage of above 50 million, according to World Atlas, are included, with some exceptions. Video makes no distinction between speech, dialect and literacy.
Number referenced for words tend to be the largest dictionary that can be found online. Dictionary referenced in video. There may be bigger dictionaries though.
Usage or number of words may be outdated, but are often after 2010. More info in references.
There is difficulty researching between different formal definition of letters, diacritics and circumflexes, whichever probability and number given for the Alphabets are stated in the sources. There may be unintentional mistake, kindly comment if spotted.

kpop idols taking advantage of being multilingual

hello! this is sort of an extension of my last video, since i’ve always found the language mixing in kpop super interesting & wanted to compile some of those moments!

also, the clip with nichkhun probably should have gone in my last video, but oh well. i think this video is like the antithesis of the “kpop idols playing the foreigner card” video (which, btw, you can find here! https://youtu.be/Fho7aBS9rkg)

‘The Multilingual Turn in Language Education: An Essential Skill for the 21st Century’, by Dr Nayr Ibrahim (Head of Young Learners and Bilingual Education, British Council, Paris)

The plenary session at our Teaching for Success conference 2017, this talk explores multilingualism as a holistic phenomenon. It looks at how children develop and manage multiple languages, what teachers can do to build on children’s linguistic repertoires, and why a multilingual approach is imperative for educational systems.

Don’t forget to check out overviews of other speakers’ conference talks on:
learner autonomy (https://youtu.be/NAIveZJNLsc);
combating bullying (https://youtu.be/NyPfwDPCpcQ);
getting teenagers talking (https://youtu.be/YujVo5hNEIo);
and integrating speaking into CLIL lessons (https://youtu.be/blCjDBJ5XbY).

Multilingual BERT – Part 1 – Intro and Concepts

multilingual No Comments »

This series will provide an introduction to some of the key concepts and techniques around applying BERT to another language, as well as example code implementations (built on PyTorch and huggingface/transformers).

In Part 1, I’ll explain the difference between a “monolingual” model and a “multilingual” model (and why monolingual isn’t just the obvious choice!), and introduce the concept of Cross-Lingual Transfer. I’ll also describe a couple ways in which we can leverage Machine Translation.

I’ve also published a blog post version of this tutorial here: http://mccormickml.com/2020/10/05/multilingual-bert/

I met this Macedonian hyperpolyglot ‘Zoran radicheski’ at the Zaanse Schans and he speaks 35 languages. In this video we will speak 15 languages which we have in common and after that he will speak 6 more languages which I don’t speak. Feel free to share this video on a web page or forum, because I think that more people in the language learning community should know him.

The tutorial, available through the American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, provides essential guidelines and resources for SLPs working with multilingual children with suspected speech sound disorders.
