ROMtels improves both how children learn and their sense of belonging.  This benefits children, families, and teachers as part of the whole school community, and the wider social community.  

ROMtels uses technology to support multilingual enquiry-based learning for groups of children. This is an approach known as translanguaging pedagogy. Our software helps teachers customise what children see and hear, so children can access the same information in multiple languages.  Children are encouraged to talk in a natural mix of their home language(s) and English to support their learning.  

We are delighted that ROMtels is shortlisted for Research Project Of The Year (Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences) at the 2020 Times Higher Education Awards.

ROMtels is an Erasmus+ project that began in 2014.  Project outputs were delivered in 2017.
