03_Why Do I Need to Know What is Linguistic and Cultural Proximity Across Languages?
HLP (Hybrid Learning and Plurilingualism) Project aims and goals:
The HLP Project was designed with the aim of creating online pedagogical materials on Plurilingualism targeting bi/plurilingual students who are learning an additional language.
These materials can be embedded in a language class with the purpose of promoting
plurilingual skills/competences and critical thinking.
Educational approach and goals:
The project adopts a concept-based approach, which allow students to:
internalize key concepts related to Plurilingualism
use these concepts as a tool for thinking, making sense what Plurilingualism is, creating and
sharing new ideas with peers by relating these concepts to their own life experiences.
Pedagogical materials:
The online pedagogical materials consist of 4 concept videos on Plurilingualism.
These videos have been divided into sub-sequences for language class use, which are
supplemented by:
awareness-oriented activities
cross-linguistic activities
identity tasks.
If you are interested in the pedagogical implementation of the videos and related activities,

The HLP Project was funded by the “Hybrid Learning Course Redesign and Delivery Grant”
(Columbia University, New York - Office of the Provost).
