This course was very informative and helpful on learning about working with students who are bilingual and multilingual!

I liked the explanations of differences in families for 2nd language learning. I have typically advised parents that if one parent is proficient in English for the parent to speak to their child in English and the other in their native language and having their children continue to use their native language is important for families. It is challenging went a parent is not fluent in English and have found that parents utilize TV programs for their children to acquire English.

The course reviewed the basic language development impacts and the variety of cultural impacts on language language learning. The speaker has great personal stories to share.
