Linguistically Sensitive Teaching in All Classrooms (Listiac)
All pupils need linguistically sensitive and responsive teachers. Despite the existing research and tools developed for individual teachers, it remains difficult to change monolingually framed policies and practices in schools and teacher education. The Erasmus+-funded Listiac project aimed at making future teachers more linguistically sensitive in their beliefs, attitudes and actions.

It remains difficult to change monolingually framed policies and practices in schools and teacher education. The Listiac project (Linguistically Sensitive Teaching in All Classrooms) aimed to assure that all students in Europe have equal conditions for educational success and well-being by mainstreaming multilingual pedagogies and reimagining the initial teacher education curriculum and in-service training.
The Listiac Toolkit for Reflection Tasks promotes reflection on a whole-school approach to linguistically sensitive teaching (LST). The reflection tools integrate all stages of teachers’ professional development. The reflections focus on both didactical classroom practices and on LST from a more holistic, whole-school approach.
In addition, the project produced a comprehensive report on LST, and language-sensitive teaching recommendations for policy makers, education providers and teachers.
