Raising Multilinguals

ALT When we raise our children abroad and want to transmit our languages to them, we sometimes become aware of our own limits. If we have already lived abroad for a while, i.e. outside of the country where our language is spoken, we can feel "not fluent enough" to transmit our language to our children. How fluent should we be in the main language we transmit to our children? How can we maintain our heritage languages whilst living abroad? What impact does it have on our own language proficiency when we use our language only with our children? Is there a correlation between SES and children's language skills? Dr. He Sun will share insights into this topic based on her research and experience. Please come and join the conversation on Tuesday 20 February 2024 at 8am New York/ 2pm Amsterdam/ 9pm Singapore time on Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn, to find out what aspects are crucial for transmitting our heritage language in an efficient way to our children.
