PYP introduced Translanguaging in October 2018 for schools to create natural environments for students and to promote the process for them drawn on students' known languages, naturally and flexibly. In the document, importance was drawn on creating environments where "students will make connections between their languages or use language skills from one language to support another". As such, our project was conceptualized and collaboratively developed by Renaissance College Primary Library and Kowloon Junior School Library to address this purpose.

This site will also promote multiliteracy through multilingualism in a multimodal format (digital library and book collection) as discussed in Ideal Libraries: A guidelines for schools. Our libraries have always been important portals for students to access information and literacy. With translanguaging guidelines, our library will become important advocates in the promotion of literacy in other languages and to support translanguaging for teachers in the classroom.

5. Upload the video file to Google drive: Video files waiting to be processed

6. After all the steps, email Ms Shirley Chan (RC) / Ms Macy Lau (KJS). 

The idea of this project is to let students expose to good reading. We are looking for fluent and natural reading.
