Feedback for this webinar:


" Excellent webinar, thank you very much."

What did you like most about this webinar? - "Everything - fascinating!"

"As a CSW I try to give all communication at the appropriate level of whom i am working with. Some things mentioned this evening aren't touched on in schools, and not even explained so in depth in English. Translanguage is exactly what is needed to bridge the gap. Having this knowledge and learning more tools to help with this would be amazing. Thank you for your time. "
