More people around the world are set to be supported and encouraged to speak more than one language thanks to the success of an Edinburgh initiative.

A new social enterprise – Bilingualism Matters – has launched to conduct research and outreach projects focusing on multilingual education.

The company has spun out from the University of Edinburgh following the success of Bilingualism Matters, a research and information service for bilingualism and language learning which was established in 2008.

Bilingualism Matters became a University centre in 2014 and established 30 Bilingualism Matters centres in three continents.

The new University spin-out will share ground-breaking research and activities promoting multilingualism to wider society, the founders say.

 

The social enterprise Bilingualism Matters has been created to develop international audiences and build a global membership.
