    Session 2 - Episode 7 - Multilingual Minds: Rethinking English Language Teaching with Nayr Ibrahim

    In this inspiring episode, we chat with Nayr Ibrahim about multilingualism in the classroom and the importance of “demonolingualising” English—a powerful call to acknowledge and embrace the linguistic diversity our learners bring with them. We explore how current curricula often operate under the assumption of monolingualism, limiting learners’ potential rather than empowering them. Nayr also shares insights from her co-authored book, Teaching Children How to Learn, and reminds us why making time for reflection, feedback, and reviewing the learning process is essential—regardless of age. A must-listen for any educator ready to shift perspectives and reimagine how we teach language in a multilingual world.

In this episode, we sit down with Sandie Mourão, a passionate advocate for picture books in language education.Her lifelong dedication to this field grew from a genuine need—one that led to the creation of the APPInep SIG, a special interest group that recently celebrated its 25th anniversary. Along the way, she launched a blog, collaborated on numerous projects, and took part in initiatives that have had a lasting impact on English language teaching.   Far from being limited to pre-primary and primary students, picture books are an invaluable resource for secondary learners and even adults. They promote visual thinking, critical literacy, and intercultural awareness, making them a powerful tool to explore complex themes—including taboo topics often avoided in course books (PARSNIP topics).   Sandie shares insights from her pioneering projects, including: 🔗Sandie’s Blog: Picture Books in ELT 📚 PEPELT – Picture Books inPrimary English Language Teaching https://www.facebook.com/PEPELT21 🌍 ICEPELL – InterculturalCitizenship Education through Picture books in Early English Language Learning, an award-winning initiative that has transformed teaching practices acrossEurope. https://icepell.eu/ ICEPELL was recognized with the European Language Label in 2022, and in November 2024, its OpenAccess Resources won the prestigious ELTons Award for Innovation in Teacher Resources, also receiving a commendation for its young learner courses and materials.
