in the near west side of chicago, there is a large amount of linguistic diversity—both in the number of people who speak languages other than english at home and in the number of languages spoken.
in an increasingly digital age, how might weleverage this linguistic diversity and encourage residents of the near west side to use and gain language skills in order to better connect with each other?
this urban mediathèqué, focused on language learning, takes cues from second language acquisition research to best foster connection among residents of the near west side.
