More about this course

Attention teachers worldwide! Get ready to embark on an exciting journey into the world of language diversity in classrooms. As the global landscape changes, more and more children are speaking languages different from the ones used for instruction. You might have already noticed the rich tapestry of languages spoken by your students and their families, creating a wonderfully diverse environment within your school.
We are thrilled to present to you an extraordinary opportunity: the Language Friendly Teacher MOOC, part of the Language Friendly School initiative. This Massive Open Online Course aims to equip you with the knowledge and tools to become a Language Friendly Teacher, empowering you to embrace and accommodate the linguistic diversity in your classroom and school.
Throughout this immersive MOOC experience, we will delve into the profound significance of language and identity in a child's development. You will discover effective instructional approaches that enable you to support and include diverse home languages in your teaching practice. By understanding and valuing the languages spoken by your students, you can create an inclusive and empowering learning environment that celebrates their cultural heritage.
But it doesn't stop there. We will also highlight the essential role of parents and families in the learning process. Recognizing the crucial impact caregivers have on a child's language growth, we will explore strategies to engage and collaborate with them effectively. By fostering strong partnerships with caregivers, we can maximize a child's language learning potential and create a supportive network for their educational journey.
Furthermore, in this MOOC, we will explore the world of multilingual digital resources. By leveraging technology, you can enhance your teaching practice and provide engaging learning experiences for your students. We will guide you through the vast array of digital tools available, equipping you with the skills to integrate them seamlessly into your lessons and empower your students' language development.
This MOOC is the result of a collaborative effort stemming from the Erasmus+ project ALCOR, funded by the European Union. Together, we can revolutionize education and create Language Friendly Schools that embrace and celebrate linguistic diversity.
Are you ready to embark on this transformative adventure? Join us as we journey together towards becoming Language Friendly Teachers, shaping the future of education for all students. Let's create inclusive, vibrant, and empowering classrooms where every child feels valued and heard. Together, we can make a difference!
