Trusted teacher: In these neuro-divergent times, the binary division of "one language or two" in bilinguals is perhaps due some contestation, which students are capable of providing. I have always found bilingual production models (and the ubiquitous Powerpoint slide) that university teachers provide a hindrance because of their lack of explicitness and discussion - they are just not relatable as presented nor do they provide much information or examples for monolingual students. Code-switching, a by-product of bilingualism, is now a term that is even found in minority-ethnic neighbourhood grafitti ("can white people code-switch" a found example). Please note that this is a linguistic term, used for switching between two languages, and not between local or social varieties of English. My personal position is that there is no such thing as bilingualism: there is always a language that suffers attrition, and one language that prevails, mostly because of its prestigious standing over the other language. On the other hand, a child exposed to more than one language cannot be truly monolingual. For this course (very popular at universities around Europe both at undergraduate and postgraduate level) we shall go through the terms used to discuss bilingualism, in detail, and then discuss, with the help of published books and articles, who can be considered bilingual (or are we all, one other language lying dormant?). Can bilingualism be defined by the speaker, instead of the "community"? Can it be imposed by the State? Does a bilingual brain function in the same manner as a monolingual brain? These are research questions that emerge as dissertation or thesis topics both at undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

Introduction (5 minutes): I welcome children in a warm and encouraging manner. I briefly explain to them what they will learn in the course. I establish simple rules for the class, such as raising your hand to speak, listening attentively, etc. Song or rhyme (5 minutes): I start with a simple song or rhyme that introduces some basic vocabulary words. For example, a song about colors, numbers or body parts. Recognition activity (10 minutes): I use cards or pictures to introduce basic vocabulary words. For example, I show a picture of an animal and ask the children to say its name in the target language. I encourage the children to repeat the words after me and use them in simple sentences. Interactive games and activities (15 minutes): I organize fun games that reinforce the vocabulary taught. For example, a memory game where the child has to associate images with words, or a guessing game where I describe an object and the child has to guess what it is. I use artistic activities like drawing or cutting to create visual connections with vocabulary words. Story or book (10 minutes): I read a short story or picture book that dramatizes the basic vocabulary words I have taught. I interact with the children by asking them questions about the story and encouraging them to use the vocabulary they have learned. Conclusion and recap (5 minutes): I summarize the vocabulary words the children learned during the lesson. I encourage children to ask questions if they have any and to share what they have learned. I congratulate them for their participation and their efforts.

Yoga for children, teens and families to inspire creativity, curiosity and connection! (Oeiras)
Martina
My daughter who is 11, took online Yoga classes with Martina, and she really enjoyed it. Martina had a way to connect with her which worked very well; during the class, when teaching to my daughter Yoga movements, and after the class, as Martina asked my daughter to reflect on a number of subjects which were always excellent and helped her notice and appreciate what was around her. So overall, this was a brilliant experience with a brilliant teacher I fully recommend.
