Identify the formal and informal unspoken policies at this school/institution and think about how the school or institutional language policy might change to embrace multilingualism and diversity and empower individuals within this school/institution while retaining its sense of place. Develop a set of ideas and initiatives to help promote multilingual identity in this place and provide rationales for these.
