q2 · i? · review · r2
Exploratory landscape scan of 21 MLL-focused edtech and digital media products, documenting publicly available information on languages offered. The scan found all multilingual tools "included English and Spanish" and 66% offered only those languages.
"Of the 15 edtech tools and digital media reviewed where we denoted multiple languages available, all included English and Spanish; however, a third of these (66%) focused solely on English and Spanish."
