Model of Multilingualism:
DIAGLOSSIA
• Tooting = Diaglossic model
• The reason for my choice
is simply because I grew
up in Tooting and have
observed the area, the
people and the languages
spoken.
• My greatest observation
was when I was teaching
in Burntwood secondary
school.

Burntwood Secondary School
•The first example: thegrouping within the
classes. They sit in ethnic
groups.
• Where they feelcomfortable and speak in
their own language to
each other.
• But they speak English to
the other students,
teachers and during the
lesson.

"Children learn the low variety as a native
language; in diglossic cultures, it is the
language of home, the family, the streets andmarketplaces, friendship, and solidarity. By
contrast, the high variety is spoken by few or
none as a first language. It must be taught in
school. The high variety is used for public
speaking, formal lectures and higher
education, television broadcasts, sermons,
liturgies, and writing.”

• There are many Asian and Afro-Caribbean stores
down the High street where you tend to hear the
native languages of many different ethnic groups.
• English is spoken during customer service and at thetill of many stores but a general overview walking
down the streets of Tooting you can hear many
different languages.
• But the reason why you hear various languages
because most people who live in Tooting only know
their native language.
• Situational code-switching

Example 3: At home
• For Monolinguals the language you speak at
home is the language you speak everywhere.
• But for many bilinguals your home language is
your native language but your work language,
etc. is English.
