FASPS Presentation: “Plurilingualism: Advantages for Life”

Prof. Jérémie Séror: “Some gifts last a lifetime! Join me for a presentation that will explore the transformative role plurilingualism plays in shaping the future of students and the world they live in. Drawing on research from applied linguistics, I will explore the multiple benefits of plurilingual forms of education, showcasing the cognitive and economic benefits of plurilingualism as well as its powerful impact on empathy, metalinguistic awareness, and intercultural communication skills. I will use real-life examples to illustrate how putting ourselves in the words of others and adopting a “plurilingual lens” allows us to rethink and reimagine the role of languages for creativity, meaning making, and navigating the synergies that emerge from our increasingly interconnected societies.”
