🚨Breaking news! 📰 Now is the perfect time to remind families how powerful their home languages are! Speaking in the language you know best gives children rich vocabulary, strong thinking skills, and a deep connection to their culture. Learning English does not have to come at the expense of a first language. In fact bilingualism builds a stronger foundation for success in both languages! #bilingual_kids #multilingualkids #language

I'm not sure there's EVER been a more critical time to answer this call. ☎️ Families need us, students need us, and we need one another. Just because some have negative opinions about multilingualism and language development, that does not erase the research and science behind knowing more than one language. Research has proven the benefits of knowing multiple languages & revealed the importance of the first language in the acquisition of additional languages. 🧠 #LanguageLearning #teachingenglish #teaching #bilingualeducation #multilingual
