The following 10 short videos are excerpts of the videos on language learning practices. They illustrate promising practice in formal and non-formal early years settings and focus either on adults or on children. All videos illustrate flexible language use across several languages and emphasise the role of interactions.

Watch the video playlist on YouTube

This series of 12 videos illustrates, firstly, the ways in which teachers, educators and children use their multilingual repertoire in daily routines and activities (e.g. play time, breakfast time), and secondly, the ways in which the adults organise activities built on stories and rhymes to develop Luxembourgish, familiarise children with French or German, and build on their home languages. The practices have been filmed in 2017 in a nursery class, a précoce, a crèche and a Maison Relais pour Enfants.
