Scroll below to read our comics and visit for more details! By finding common ground and seeing new perspectives, students’ linguistic and cultural viewpoints will be widened. What's the goal? We hope that U of T students see the shared and the different: there will be both linguistic experiences that they can relate to and ones they’ve never lived through. Why comics? Comics make information dissemination accessible: they are easy to read, understand, and share! As a tool that can be used widely across the three campuses, these comics can amplify the voices of linguistic-diverse and culture-diverse students at U of T.
These stories will be illustrated as comics, complemented by infographics about language from the expert perspective of a linguist. How does it work? A group of students volunteer to share their stories about the languages that they speak, and what role language has in their identity and everyday life. By translating their stories and lived experiences into comics, we'll be contributing toward intercultural competency, empathy, and awareness that all forms of language are valid. What's it about? Centred on linguistic empowerment, the project celebrates the diversity of our U of T students. Introducing the L'IMAGE Project, a collaboration between the International Education Centre and Professor Ai Taniguchi of the Department of Language Studies at the University of Toronto Mississauga!
