It is a pupils’ voice study on primary languages and multilingualism. Her findings show that WoLLoW programme has the potential to foster self-motivation regarding language learning, by fulfilling the needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness. Furthermore, pupils were provided with a unique space for positive and empowering discussions around multilingualism, which could potentially enhance the language learning provision at primary and the transition to secondary.
