| Abstract: | Malta is a multilingual island nation in the Mediterranean Sea, where the two official languages, Maltese and English, co-exist with the many languages of migrants and refugees. The National Literacy Strategy for Malta and Gozo (2021) outlines the way forward with regard to literacy policy planning and implementation. The National Literacy Agency of Malta is tasked with implementing this strategy. One of the main remits of the Agency is to implement a number of family literacy programmes with the multilingual population. The programmes are offered to a broad range of families in a wide range of contexts. |
