Pluralingualism – a policy goal ‘as an individual person’s experience of language in its cultural contexts expands, from the language of the home to that of society at large and then to the languages of other peoples (whether learnt at school or college, or by direct experience), he or she does not keep these languages and cultures in strictly separated mental compartments, but rather builds up a communicative competence to which all knowledge and experience of language contributes and in which languages interrelate and interact.’ The Common European Framework of Reference, (2001: 4).

  4. The AMLA Language Awareness Programme is designed to aid the development of pluralingualism and ‘communicative competence’ by helping pupils to transfer skills and knowledge across languages and cultures. • Through the Language Awareness activities they begin to recognise patterns and exceptions and develop their understanding of their place in the world through exploring their own and other cultures.
