Thriving Language - Early Years
Education:Self-Improvement
Bilingualism in early years and education - what we all need to know and understand
Here the Beckies are delighted to be joined by Catherine a specialist in learning languages.
We discover how babies and children learn to talk and how hearing more than one language is so beneficial for their development. Hearing a second language for babies is completely natural, when babies are under 12 months they can hear and responded innately.
The ability to build natural fluency happens in the early years.
We discover why it is much harder it is to learn a language as we get older?
How do children learn to talk when their parents speak different languages and how beneficial is this for them?
What does the term a second language really mean?
The benefits from speaking more than one language as the child grows are huge, socially, emotionally, holistically and through their knowledge of understanding vocabulary.
Cultural capital extends from understanding different cultures, communities and knowing about and embracing a wider world, a bilingual child has this head start from birth.
Children who speak more than one language flourish and should be understood in whichever language they choose to speak in, remember all children are unique and must be valued for who they are.
Have a good listen as we MYTH BUST and tell the true story of bilingual children's journey to talk.
