The Language Repertoire theme explores the languages learners have been exposed to and use in their lives.
The topics under the theme of Language Repertoire include:
My Languages
Reading and Writing
Reflections on Language
Your Linguistic Portraits
Before you ask students to record their videos, it is always helpful to prepare them with some warm-up activities. We have included some suggestions as well as some worksheets that can prepare students for the speaking portion of the activities.

My Languages (1).mp4My Languages
Some of us speak one or two languages while many of us speak lots of different languages. Often our languages mix together and we use two or even three languages at the same time. Thinking about this, reflect on:
What languages do you know how to speak? Understand?
Who do you speak these languages with?
What languages does your family speak?
Reading and Writing.mp4Reading and Writing
Answer these questions about the languages you know:
What languages do you know how to write and how much?
What languages do you like to read in?
Do you enjoy reading?
Reflections on Language.mp4Reflections on Language
Think about your experiences with different languages. Take time to reflect on who you are and how your languages shape the person you have become. Use these two questions to guide your thoughts:
How does who you are change when you speak different languages?
Do you feel or think differently when you are speaking different languages?

Create Your Own Linguistic Portrait
Draw an outline of a person on a piece of paper.
List your languages and the matching colour. For example: French: Purple, English: Blue, Spanish: Green
Colour the outline to show how you feel and what you do with these languages.
Explain your portrait and hold it up to the camera for everyone to see.
