Promoting schools’ positive orientations to diversity to improve educational outcomes for multilingual learners

How to cite this Dataset

Description

The data are interviews from a collaborative project between Flynn (University of Reading) and Hampshire's Ethnic Minority and Traveller Achievement Service (EMTAS). The project was a British Academy Innovation Fellowship knowledge exchange project in which Flynn and EMTAS worked together to find out a) what schools felt they needed in terms of support for their multilingual learners who are learning English to access the curriculum, and b) what sort of online tool might support them in school-led improvements to both pedagogy for multilingual learners and positive mindset towards these learners. The project resulted in an online toolkit called The Talk-Rich Teaching Toolkit which supported schools in resourcing the oracy education (spoken language) of both their multilingual learners and their children from Gypsy Roma and Traveller backgrounds.
