Aims: 

• to give visibility to multilingualism;
  
• to increase the active participation of children;
  
• to foster parents' involvement.
  

Links to curriculum:

Literacy in the language(s) of instruction.

Procedure:

• Children are involved in drawing graphs showing how they use the language(s) they know to communicate with their parents, siblings and other relatives (grandparents, uncles...). 
• Teachers can use the information gathered to involve children in discussing how (and why) children use the languages they know in different contexts and with different people and to reflect on the   relationship between L1 and L2
  

Further development:

• Parents could be involved in realizing a language dossier of their family (see activity: Creating family language profiles and language dossier)
