The ABC asking "should speaking more than one language be the norm?" 🤦🏼‍♀️ 25% of Australians already speak languages other than English, 50% are born or have parent born overseas. In these homes and communities speaking more than one language IS the norm. 1/3
Colourful speech bubbles on a blue background containing greetings in different languages: "KUMUSTA" (purple), "CIAO" (yellow), "HI" (pink), "BONJOUR" (green), "HEJ" (yellow), "HOLA" (purple), and "SALUT" (pink). Above the image, black text reads "In a multicultural country like ours, should speaking more than one language be the norm?" with the ABC logo.

White woman with blonde hair and wearing a white top stands in front of a large screen. The screen shows a slide with a purple background and a title that reads "interrogating problematisations of language in Australian early education policy".
