PARLO II - Teaching from Day 1 - Booklet

Aims of the tool

This manual offers concrete tools, activities, and approaches to help youth workers create supportive environments where every young person has the opportunity to explore and succeed in language learning.

Description of the tool

In a rapidly evolving educational landscape, youth workers play a key role in promoting multilingualism, especially through non-formal education. Yet, many are not fully aware of their potential to motivate young people or lack practical strategies to guide them. While formal education often focuses on one or two languages, learning additional languages is still left to personal initiative and remains out of reach for many. At the same time, young learners may face a range of challenges, from learning difficulties such as dyslexia and ADHD to psychological barriers like foreign language anxiety. Without the right support, these obstacles can lead to frustration or disengagement.

PARLO II addresses these gaps by empowering youth workers to recognise learning barriers, share experiences, and apply inclusive, practical methods that make language learning more accessible and motivating for all.
