Abstract
This report explores how students' multilingual literacies
can become part of everyday classroom practices. It discusses the
contribution made by the home language in English language learning and
literacy by highlighting the connections between languages in mainstream
classroom settings. The strategies highlighted here focus on the
representation of languages other than English. An overview of multilingual
resources, including bilingual books, electronic resources, and software, is
provided. Extensive lists of bookstores; resource centers and libraries;
CD-ROMs, interactive stories, and videos; and foreign language Web sites
available in Australia are also provided.
