00:00:19,255 --> 00:00:21,880
Finally, we started drawing in
class for everyone’s pleasure.

3
00:00:21,927 --> 00:00:23,060
Among the children,

4
00:00:23,098 --> 00:00:26,168
there were budding little artists
who added speech balloons

5
00:00:26,193 --> 00:00:28,622
to their drawings in which
 they tried to convey,

6
00:00:28,647 --> 00:00:31,599
and clarify the main message of the text.

7
00:00:31,668 --> 00:00:35,083
Often they chose to write in Romani.

8
00:00:42,427 --> 00:00:43,411
You have gone all quiet!

9
00:00:43,436 --> 00:00:45,138
Normally you are so talkative.

10
00:00:45,138 --> 00:00:47,538
I can see that you have understood

11
00:00:47,728 --> 00:00:49,482
the tale we talked about.

12
00:00:50,505 --> 00:00:56,021
It seems everyone summarised accurately 
the part they read.

13
00:01:02,927 --> 00:01:06,349
Text balloon:
 I WON’T LET YOU GO ANYWHERE.

14
00:01:06,521 --> 00:01:09,943
YOU’LL STAY HERE WITH ME FOREVER.

15
00:01:10,019 --> 00:01:13,239
Could you please tell others

16
00:01:13,362 --> 00:01:18,599
how you wrote down
 the text of the tale in the bubble?

17
00:01:18,775 --> 00:01:21,510
Why did you write it that way?

18
00:01:22,822 --> 00:01:27,450
We normally write in Hungarian,

19
00:01:27,475 --> 00:01:28,732
and not in Romani,

20
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,185
but I have now tried in Romani.

21
00:01:32,670 --> 00:01:33,959
And do you like it?

22
00:01:34,051 --> 00:01:35,051
Yes.

23

KRISZTINA MAJZIK-LICHTENBERGER
reseacher

24
00:01:40,874 --> 00:01:44,771
Illustrating tales is a task
 which is less controlled by the teacher

25
00:01:44,818 --> 00:01:47,105
so, it gives greater freedom to the pupils

26
00:01:47,172 --> 00:01:48,931
and encourages their imagination.

27
00:01:48,956 --> 00:01:52,481
It contributes to decreasing

28
00:01:52,564 --> 00:01:54,840
their anxiety and enhances creativity.

29
00:01:54,919 --> 00:01:56,403
Children can devote themselves to the task

30
00:01:56,466 --> 00:02:00,052
with their entire personality,
 without reservations.

31
00:02:00,121 --> 00:02:02,848
This supports translanguaging
practices as well.

32
00:02:02,996 --> 00:02:04,700
MÁRK ATTILA SZÉKELY
teacher trainee

33
00:02:04,725 --> 00:02:06,066
Comics are a transitional medium

34
00:02:06,091 --> 00:02:08,429
between literature and fine art.

35
00:02:08,454 --> 00:02:10,926
It is a multimodal means of communication

36
00:02:11,012 --> 00:02:15,935
which condenses and essentialises
 visual and textual information.

37
00:02:16,247 --> 00:02:19,286
The use of Romani in writing was helped

38
00:02:19,399 --> 00:02:22,599
by the use of Romani in oral
communication in classes.

39
00:02:22,943 --> 00:02:24,646
TAMÁS WESSELÉNYI
teacher trainee

40
00:02:24,671 --> 00:02:26,208
If children are given the opportunity

41
00:02:26,233 --> 00:02:29,224
to write in their home language at school,

42
00:02:29,249 --> 00:02:32,487
this contributes to a positive confirmation
 of their linguistic identity

43
00:02:32,512 --> 00:02:35,431
because writing, as opposed to speech,

44
00:02:35,456 --> 00:02:39,138
is long-lasting, permanent.

ESZTER TARSOLY
researcher

46
00:02:41,404 --> 00:02:43,276
Summarising the plot of the fairy tale
visually

47
00:02:43,301 --> 00:02:45,574
is a creative exercise
 at two different levels.

48
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:49,293
First, information
that the children received orally

49
00:02:49,333 --> 00:02:50,983
and through written texts

50
00:02:51,022 --> 00:02:53,171
is conveyed through the visual medium.

51
00:02:53,196 --> 00:02:53,905
Second,

52
00:02:53,930 --> 00:02:58,012
to write in non-standard Romani

53
00:02:58,076 --> 00:03:04,724
in the bubbles also requires creativity.

54
00:03:04,749 --> 00:03:07,221
Using their own resourcefulness,

55
00:03:07,246 --> 00:03:10,060
they invent an entirely new writing system

56
00:03:10,085 --> 00:03:12,218
to represent local Romani:

57
00:03:12,243 --> 00:03:15,474
a language variety
 that was not written down before.

58
00:03:15,857 --> 00:03:17,560
JÁNOS IMRE HELTAI
 researcher

59
00:03:17,585 --> 00:03:19,730
There are language competences,

60
00:03:19,755 --> 00:03:23,036
such as the ability
 to create written texts,

61
00:03:23,061 --> 00:03:25,129
which are not language-specific

62
00:03:25,211 --> 00:03:28,849
but general language competences.

63
00:03:29,099 --> 00:03:31,091
It consists of skills

64
00:03:31,154 --> 00:03:33,481
such as gathering our thoughts,

65
00:03:33,513 --> 00:03:36,708
linking them, formulating
them appropriately, etc.

66
00:03:36,793 --> 00:03:39,060
These abilities are not specific

67
00:03:39,107 --> 00:03:41,520
to Hungarian or Romani,

68
00:03:42,181 --> 00:03:45,531
so, they can be developed in any language.

69
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:50,244
These children are more familiar
with Romani,

70
00:03:50,898 --> 00:03:53,687
so, they create texts in Romani

71
00:03:53,851 --> 00:03:56,398
more quickly and easily.

72
00:03:56,729 --> 00:04:00,396
Thus, Romani provides a point

73
00:04:00,514 --> 00:04:05,052
of access to these
general language competences.

74
00:04:06,081 --> 00:04:09,208
 The skills they acquire will assist them
 later as well

75
00:04:09,677 --> 00:04:10,318
when

76
00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:18,450
they will have to create texts
in Hungarian.

77
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,325
It is worth building on this skill

78
00:04:21,350 --> 00:04:25,663
as it helps not only the learners
but also the educators

79
00:04:25,688 --> 00:04:28,573
who can enrich the students’ learning

80
00:04:28,637 --> 00:04:30,192
experience with such tasks.

81
00:04:30,248 --> 00:04:38,787
 I WON’T LET YOU GO ANYWHERE.
YOU’LL STAY HERE WITH ME FOREVER.
I AM LEAVING. I WON’T STAY WITH YOU.

82
00:04:39,060 --> 00:04:47,931
 I WON’T LET YOU GO ANYWHERE.
YOU’LL STAY HERE WITH ME FOREVER.
