</h2><p><br></p><p>The University of Groningen, The Netherlands, and Future Learn have developed a free online course on Multilingual Practices, starting on the 10th of April. <br></p><p></p><p>Multilingualism is all around us and it plays an important role in
today’s society. In a world of globalisation, people who do not speak
the same language meet more often every day. Being able to deal with
these multilingual practices in an effective way can give you an
advantage in your daily life and work. Our course is suitable for undergraduate students, young researchers, policy-makers, multilingual families, teachers and educators, and all those interested in multilingualism in general. <br></p><p>Over the course of four weeks, we will explore how multilingualism can
work on personal, scientific and policy levels. We will look at:</p>
<ul><li>linguistic landscape and policy;</li><li>multilingualism at home and at work;</li><li>multilingualism at school from a cognitive perspective;</li><li>the position of minority languages and dialects.</li></ul><p>Find out more about the course and enroll here: <br></p><p><a href="https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/multilingual-practices">https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/multilingual-practices</a></p><p><br></p><p>Joana Duarte (University of Groningen)</p><p>Tom Spits (Future Learn)<br></p></div>
