One language at school, another language at home

My child goes to school in English, but we speak another language at home. How can we help him strive in both languages? In which language should I help with the homework? The school teacher tells me I should stop speaking my home language, what should I do? At school, my child has been diagnosed with language acquisition problem, is it because he is bilingual? If not, what should I do?

Those questions and many more will be answered during the workshop: One language at school, another language at home. We will be looking at how to manage the proper balance between the two languages (or three sometimes) without stressing and helping our children. Do not forget, a language is an investment for the future, do not give them up.
