Raising Children in More Than One Language

Join us for an in-depth workshop on raising bilingual children! We'll start by exploring the different definitions and forms of bilingualism and multilingualism and how they can be acquired. You'll also learn about why parents raise their children to be proficient in more than one language, and the cognitive and social benefits of multilingualism. We'll provide practical strategies for introducing multiple languages at home and tips for overcoming possible challenges. You'll have the opportunity to share your own language background and experiences, as well as to brainstorm with other participants. We'll also discuss the role of technology and other resources in supporting bilingual development.
