Products
The 3M project delivers three products:
e-3M
A digital and interactive learning platform for pupils in grades 3 and 4 with multilingual material (around the theme of nature and technology) in six different languages (Dutch, Frisian, English, Tigrinya, Arabic and Polish). It is being developed by Afûk, one of the teachers from the project schools and (lecturer) researchers from the lectorate Multilingualism & Literacy. The first e3M theme “Birds” is now online and can be seen here (you will receive a login code after registration).
3M-toolbox
The 3M-toolbox is an open online toolbox for sharing the multilingual activities developed in phase 1 and all the related materials. The activities are classified by 1) age (lower, middle and upper), 2) by languages in different subjects (classified by core objectives of primary education) and 3) by skill (listening, speaking, reading, writing). The 3M-toolbox is currently being developed. A preview of this can be seen here.
3M-videobox
The 3M-videobox features didactic videos that serve as an example and guidance for the activities from the 3M toolbox. They show different approaches for multilingual education (e.g. translanguaging, language comparison) and are commented on by teachers and researchers. The first videos will appear in the 3M toolbox in the course of 2020.
The Toolbox is currently under development. A preview can be viewed here (Dutch only).
