SUMMARY:Imagining inclusivity: The role of language in an increasingly diverse Ireland
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is designed to facilitate dialogue between academics\, policymakers\, practitioners\, and NGOs in imagining a more inclusive Ireland\, and the role that language plays in how we envisage this inclusivity. The event stems from the project ‘Languages\, Families\, and Society’ (LaFS) at NUI Galway\, which uses an ethnographic approach to understand more about the everyday lived experiences families who speak Irish as a home language; Polish as a home language; and Kurdish as a home language\, and how these experiences intersect with language policy and support (or lack thereof) at the wider level. \nThe workshop will consist of five 10-minute presentations\, followed by 5 minutes for questions. We will then break out into groups and take part in a targeted discussions about key issues before coming back together as a whole group. Our collective thoughts and recommendations will form the basis of a document to be published on the project’s website. Even if you do not wish to participate in the group discussions\, we warmly invite you to attend this workshop. \nPresenters\nDr. Cassie Smith-Christmas (Roinn na Gaeilge\, NUI Galway) is the research fellow with LaFS.

He is a pioneer of ‘Family Language Policy’ in an Irish language context and has conducted research in Gaeltacht communities\, across Ireland and in other minoritised language settings in Europe\, as well as advising state and community language planning agencies. \nAnnie Asgard (Claddagh National School\, Galway) is an EAL teacher and Chairperson of English Language Support Teachers’ Association of Ireland (ELSTA). Annie has extensive experience working with EAL learners of different backgrounds in different contexts\, ranging from primary schools to refugee camps. \nDr. Lorraine Connaughton-Crean (Institute of Education\, Dublin City University) helped design the NCAA Primary Curriculum for Languages (2019).
