  1. Apparently Duolingo has added a mind-reading requirement to its courses. In the screenshot, the Hindi I entered was exactly correct but was marked as wrong because the answer expected was "they are not my relatives, they're my neighbours" As I use a paid account it will be interesting to see if I get any response to my bug submission. #Languages #Hindi #lLanguageEducation #LanguageLearning

  3. Efthymia Kapnoula @EffieKapnoula asked: what is the difference between translanguaging and language/code switching?
    Wikipedia confirmed that code-switching is at the individual level, whereas #translanguaging has a broader meaning that includes pedagogy. I code-switch in teaching and mix Japanese with English. I call it '#bilingual mode' where both #languages are always on.
    My 'Levels of Bilingualism' framework includes plural languages at the individual level (bilingual development, language acquisition), family level (bilingual child-raising, biculturalism), societal level (a country's language communities and policies), and school level (bilingual or international education, second or foreign language teaching).
