Raising a child bilingually is not always an easy task. Research has shown that raising children bilingually can have many advantages. Indeed, bringing up a bilingual child can be an exciting and rewarding experience, but it can sometimes require patience and self-discipline. It can also raise many questions. While we do not (yet) know the answers to all these questions, there are several clear-cut findings which have emerged from research with bilingual children in the past years.
In the first part of this 1.5 hour session, researchers from Utrecht Institute of Linguistics, Sharon Unsworth and Ivana Brasilero, will discuss some of these findings. In the second part, the audience will have the opportunity to raise questions relating to bilingual children and bilingualism.
This session is intended for parents, educators, expats, speech language therapists, trainee teachers and anyone with a general interest in bilingualism and bilingual children.
Attendance is free, but the number of places is limited. Please register in advance.
