Description

This unique half day course equips parents with the knowledge and skills they need to support the successful development of two or more languages in their children. The class is ideal for expectant families and for parents of children under the age of 6. Through small group discussions and exercises with videos and worksheets parents will learn about bilingualism/multilingualism, how to overcome difficulties and how to support the development of their child's languages. The classes have a limited number of participants to allow time for discussion and questions.
