Overview

Analysis of collaborations promoting multilingualism in education highlights the involvement of non-formal actors in teaching practices.

Key Points

  • Multilingualism can enhance language education, but remains underutilized in schools, and teaching practices often revert to promoting a single language.
  • In Frankfurt/Main, diverse collaborations aim to support language education and include multilingual programmes, indicating potential changes in the system.
  • An assessment of formal and non-formal education partnerships shows a continuum of cooperation levels and strategies for language support.
  • These findings suggest a gradual shift towards addressing linguistic diversity, despite persistent monolingual structures in formal education.
