Raising Multilingual Children

Synopsis of Raising Multilingual Children

In 'Raising Multilingual Children: Foreign Language Acquisition and Children,' Tracey Tokuhama-Espinosa explores how children learn foreign languages and when they do so with the best results. The book evaluates the most recent studies in linguistics, neurology, education, and psychology, presenting the findings in an accessible format. Parents and educators are encouraged to reflect on their personal situations and are helped to foster multilingual skills in the children around them, offering tools such as family language profiles and language goals worksheets.
