TALES@home

Our goal
TALES@home project aims to support multilingual families, helping them to create a favourable environment for language learning and well-being.

This aim will be achieved by developing an innovative tool (app) for parents and their children to be used for language related emotion mapping within the family, helping to empower positive emotions and attitudes on a family level and thereby contributing to the improvement of well-being, social inclusion and language learning of the family members.

Specific Objectives
Addressing non-formal language learning in a multilingual home. More specifically, the motivations and beliefs in the family about language use and learning.
Empowering parents and by extension the whole family to manage language use at home and to create a positive and stimulating environment.

Target groups

• Multilingual families;
• Professionals who work with adults, children and youngsters in a language learning/ teaching process;
• Professionals that are involved in improving intra-familial relations and the wellbeing of the individual family;
• Professionals involved with social inclusion.

Expected outputs

• A digital app to be used by multilingual families with the support of professionals;
• A user’s guide and film to sustain professionals with practical instructions for using the app;
• Training for professionals;
• International Conference Languages@home: empowering multilingual families, May 2018, Brussels.
