2020 / 2021

Use of technology in homes, schools, and communities in times of rapid change听

During the Covid 19 pandemic, schools around the globe sought to maintain continuity, community and belonging. These actions sparked our own interest in exploring how teachers, parents, and students experienced teaching, learning, and communication online, what they felt were the gains and what were the losses.

With a group of colleagues based at the at Goldsmiths, and at IOE, UCL BiLingo we organised two virtual panel discussions on using technology. Participants shared a wealth of ideas, experiences, and emotions.

December 2020 | : we identified possibilities and challenges community schools were facing at the time. Panellists highlighted innovative and inclusive pedagogies and inventive ways to keep school communities together that drew on the affordances of digital tools.
May 2021 |听鈥楽ustaining multilingualism and social and emotional well-being among multilingual families during the pandemic鈥�:听panellists focused on multilingual families and the diverse ways they mobilised and managed their languages when they were forced to keep apart.

Languages in Lockdown

April, 2021 | In this webinar researchers from the Centre for Literacy and Multilingualism (University of Reading, UK), IOE (UK), and MultiLing (University of Oslo, Norway) shared some of the insights from a survey on language use in multilingual families during the first lockdown.
