International Mother Language Day 2025: Linguistic Diversity in Reading

Find out more about which languages are most commonly spoken at the university and in Reading.

The Centre for Literacy and Multilingualism invites you to celebrate International Mother Language Day at a public lecture on 21 February 2025, where we will showcase and celebrate language diversity in Reading.

The event will start at 6pm and take place on the University’s London Road campus. We will share the results of our survey capturing the languages that Reading residents and University staff and students speak. We will also showcase our research projects and staff and student “linguistic journeys”, and do a linguistic bodymapping activity that everyone will be invited to take part in.

Attendance is free and everyone is welcome. If you wish to attend please register here.

Last year the centre collaborated with our community researchers to mark the day and brought together local people to celebrate Reading’s linguistic and cultural diversity through song, dance, poetry and other activities.
