Tuesday 29th January
ICOSS Conference Room
In this seminar we draw upon recent research in the Early Childhood Education Research Centre to ask critical questions about superdiversity in relation to children’s communicative practices, their home-based engagement with digital technologies, and the implications for curriculum-making of normative goals in the Early Years Foundation Stage. We problematise the current policy framework, its mis/recognition of superdiversity and multilingual practices, and the implications for children’s learning in home, school and preschool settings.
