My multi-lingual self: Children's language self-portraits

7. QUESTIONS TO STIMULATE GROUP REFLECTION

Looking at those examples of drawings can help to initiate a group discussion which encourages reflection about the language situation in the family, and participants’ feelings connected to the different languages. Questions that can be discussed in the group are: 

With a focus on the case:

* What do you think about these drawings and the ways the children describe their pluri-lingual worlds? 

* What do these children think and feel about their languages?

With a focus on the participants' experiences:

* What are the languages in your life? 

* Are your languages connected to certain places or people?  

* Are they connected to certain times/phases in your life? 

* How do you feel about the languages in your life? 

* Were there any changes in how you think and feel about your languages over time in your life?

* Have you ever spoken to other people about your languages and what they mean to you?
