DATE:      Wednesday, 6th November 2024
TIME:       7.00 pm to 8.00 pm
VENUE:   Online Via Zoom

Target Audience: SNAs, Primary Teachers, Post Primary Teachers

Our classrooms should reflect the language repertoire of all pupils.  The Primary Language Curriculum makes this clear.  Languages open all learners’ experiences to the world.  In this interactive webinar we will look at the importance of valuing all languages and simple ways that you can include these languages in your daily practice.  Participants will leave the webinar with resources that can be immediately implemented in the classroom.
