Josianne Block - Nuevo twist in ELT: Incorporating learners’ own languages in the classroom This interactive session is designed for ELT professionals to explore how to effectively use learners' own languages in the English classroom. Through hands-on and reflective tasks, we will discuss trends in multilingualism like translanguaging, challenge the ‘English-only classroom’ concept, and (re)discover how learners’ first languages can be a valuable tool for second language acquisition. Whether learners share a common language or have diverse linguistic backgrounds, this workshop will embrace multilingualism for a richer classroom experience.
