In this episode we interview Susan Stewart on the topic of ‘Multilingual pupils and creating home-school connections’. We will talk about engaging with parents in order to better understand pupils’ language portraits/profiles, how to encourage home language use, and how to tap into the cultural richness of multilingual families. Susan is Director at Articulate Multilingual and has lived and worked in South Africa, Thailand, the UAE, Belgium, Oman, Sweden and the UK. Susan has raised two bilingual children and is a lifelong learner of languages, speaking, to varying degrees, English, French, Dutch, German, Afrikaans, Swedish, Arabic and BSL. Susan has a background in international education, leading multilingual language programmes, and creating cohesive language curricula rooted in a research-driven practice. Susan delivers regular parent workshops on raising bilingual children and has a particular interest in language policy as a driving force in promoting multilingualism within families, schools, on local and national levels.
