They provide opportunities for teachers to draw on the cultural and linguistic capital of the communities represented in their classrooms, and to explore what language is- how it is entwined with culture and identity. In this professorial lecture Nicola will share her journey from linguistics to multilingual children’s literature, exploring language awareness among teachers and children, analysing the design of bilingual picturebooks, and most recently working in a multidisciplinary team to explore Indigenous voices in children’s literature. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/9367c320-2e23-11f1-b66b-c789a2302db1-rimg-w1110-h740-dc1a171a-gmir.jpg This 45-minute public lecture will be held at the at the University of Waikato in Hamilton, starting at 5.45pm.
