Following Island Voices\u2019 recent trip to England<\/a>, including a visit to the national base for NATECLA<\/a> (National Association for the Teaching of English and Other Community Languages to Adults) in South and City College Birmingham, it seems only appropriate to highlight the Winter 2025<\/a><\/strong> issue of its journal \u201cLanguage Issues\u201d. This includes a re-print abridgement of our own report<\/a> on the history of Island Voices from 2005 to 2023, alongside a suite of other articles from a practitioner perspective with an emphasis on multilingualism and diversity.<\/p>\n
