Hoe meertaligheid gemeenskappe kan bou: ’n blik op die onlangse meertaligheidswerksessies vir US-studentegemeenskappe

In hierdie ruimte kon hulle saam sowel as van mekaar leer, en in die proses beter toegerus word om potensiële struikelblokke te hanteer wat met taal- en kulturele aspekte in hulle onderskeie gemeenskappe verband hou."

In this space they could learn together as well as from one another, in the process becoming better equipped to deal with potential barriers related to language and cultural aspects in their respective communities."
