Guidelines for the support of mother tongues and active plurilingualism

Móðurmál – the Association on Bilingualism has contributed to the making of new Guidelines for the Support of Mother Tongues and Active Plurilingualism in School and Afterschool Programs, together with other specialists within the field. These guidelines are based on laws, policies, and research as well as on the experience and ideas provided by professionals and practitioners. The guidelines discuss the importance of supporting the active plurilingualism of children and youth in preschools, compulsory schools, afterschool programs and in upper secondary schools, developing co-operation with parents and strengthening communication with children in their daily work. Most importantly, the guidelines  contain advice, instruction and useful information for parents, schools and afterschool program providers.
