Resources for assessing the home language competences of migrant pupils

The project will collect and analyse examples of how migrant pupils’ home languages are evaluated in order to define criteria and produce materials for formative evaluation, taking into account evolving plurilingual repertoires. Particular attention will be paid to synergies between the learning of languages and the development of the language(s) of schooling. The overall aim is to support social and institutional recognition of home languages and to value pupils’ plurilingual repertoires.
