UniverCITY Talks: multilingual schooling in Luxembourg – what are the challenges and benefits?

Children in Luxembourg grow up in a school system where the language of instruction changes several times — from Luxembourgish in kindergarten to German in primary school and later to French in secondary school. How do these transitions affect learning and development?

In this talk, we explore both the opportunities and the challenges of multilingual education. We also discuss how learning difficulties and developmental language disorders can be recognised in children who are growing up with several languages — and how to distinguish between normal multilingual development and the need for additional support.

Join us for expert insights, audience Q&A, and a lively debate. This event will be in English.
