Bridging Language Barriers Symposium

Despite their commitment to diversity and equality of access, contemporary multicultural societies and their institutions struggle to find effective ways to overcome linguistic disadvantage and break down language barriers. Today’s diverse societies comprise people with a wide range of linguistic proficiencies while institutions often continue to operate through the monolingual standard language. This mismatch can create significant barriers to social cohesion, educational success, employment opportunities and community participation.

Why this project?

Berlin Interdisciplinary Alliance for Multilingualism (BIVEM)

The Berlin Interdisciplinary Alliance for Multilingualism (BIVEM) is a collaboration between scientists specializing in language acquisition and experts with an educational and therapeutic background. This interdisciplinary cooperation allows for the quick implementation of language support in preschool and primary school education based on the new research findings of the collaborators. The alliance was initiated by the Centre of General Linguistics in Berlin (ZAS) and was launched with financial support from the Berlin Senate.

ToddleTalk Project

ToddleTalk is a research project on early child bilingualism that aims to investigate factors that are important in young bilingual children's development. We focus on two main groups of young bilinguals: children who hear both English and German from birth, and children who only hear English from birth, but will start to learn German after entering a German-speaking daycare centre.
