Linguistic Autobiographies

Linguistic autobiographies are personal stories where people reflect on their experiences with language, accents, and multilingualism. As part of the CIRCE project, these stories were collected from secondary school and university students in Italy, Bosnia, Germany, and Portugal, offering a rich tapestry of voices and perspectives.Students are invited to read and reflect on these narratives, discovering how language shapes identity and everyday life. Teachers can use them creatively in the classroom, supported by lesson plans in the CIRCE Handbook, or adapt them in new ways to spark discussion, exploration, and critical thinking about language and diversity.
