Description

Watch Your Language, Mom! A Guide to Multilingualism A publication dedicated to parents, but also useful for educators, teachers, and pedagogists, and in general, for anyone who interacts with children speaking different languages. A practical manual for moms and dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles, teachers, and educators. The book is primarily aimed at families with preschool children (0-6 years old). Karin Martin categorizes families into three broad types: children born to parents of different languages and nationalities, children who emigrate with their family and settle in a new country, and children from monolingual families who want to introduce a second language into their lives. Drawing on her direct experience as a multilingualism consultant and trainer, the author has created this practical and accessible guide to understanding bilingualism and multilingualism. The book contains useful activities to support the child and to understand the situation holistically, as well as offering a professional perspective that encourages deep reflection. Karin Martin’s mission is to promote inclusion by raising awareness for an equitable and empathetic society that values diversity, not only linguistic. With a valuable foreword by Dr. Antonella Sorace
