1. One week today, Thursday 17^th March, at 09:00 UK time sees the next event in the Universitas Negeri Jakarta’s Zoominar programme: Kathleen Heugh from the University of South Australia will be talking about The Role of Local, Regional and International Languages in Multilingual Education to Achieve Equality and Inclusion. Zoom meeting ID 927 4818 6553 and password PASCAUNJ.

Kathleen’s rubric reads as follows: “The focus is on the relationship between literacy and learning to read and write and using reading and writing to learn. For most students in the world this means literacy in a minimum of two languages, usually three, and often four. I discuss the research data, what we know now, and how we can achieve what is necessary for all students. I discuss, with practical examples, how to ensure that all students and teachers know how to translate knowledge in one language into another language and how they learn how to work with translanguaging and transknowledging.”

4. And, finally, time for a spot of Punglish at long last, I think. Here’s Daljit Nagra talking about his retelling of the Ramayana: https://www.wordswithoutborders.org/dispatches/article/the-joy-of-cultural-mixing-daljit-nagra-on-retelling-the-classic-ramayana-i
