Passports are powerful documents that say many things about who we are and where we have been. In these times, many of us may have passports but not the option to move around. With limited mobility, we may feel confined to our homes or neighbourhoods. But, there is an alternative! A creative one! We are proposing that you play with a different idea and a different document: a LANGUAGE PASSPORT.
You can design and travel around with the help of your imagination with a language passport. This is a document that language learners can develop over an extended period of time in which they record language stamps: bits of language that they know, capture, pick up from their contexts, etc. As language users, we are the totality of all these language stamps that we live with, hear on a regular basis, or use to reach out to others around us. Language passports are also a creative way to engage with the ones around us, collecting not only our bits of languages, but theirs as well. Be creative and journey around through language(s)!
