Hi, I'm Tallulah.
Through Language Unpacked, I seek to share my love of all things language and demonstrate the power of language learning to improve literacy skills and create global citizens. I hold a BA in French and an MA in Translation Studies from Cardiff University.
I am also a consultant and researcher for SHAPE in Schools, promoting the value of social sciences, humanities and the arts alongside STEM.
my approach.
Exploring other languages and cultures helps to widen our perspectives and teach us more about who we are. Languages are not learnt in isolation but connect with all other subjects through vital literacy skills.
I help develop learners' literacy skills through the exploration of different languages and cultures around the world. I do this by focusing on multilingual literacy, metalinguistic awareness, intercultural competency and interdisciplinary learning.
International languages are often overlooked by anglophone learners which is leading to a severe decline in uptake in the UK and elsewhere. My research helps to understand attitudes to language learning and promote a more holistic approach to support the sector.
