Is my child’s
speech and language delayed because he / she is
exposed to two languages?
Children all over the world master
more than one language. Children who have difficulty
in both languages should receive treatment.
Should we concentrate on
one language at home?
The language a child speaks most
frequently is known as the dominant language.
Children need practice speaking each language
in order to be bilingual. Children with difficulty
mastering one language may need to focus on the
dominant |
|
language,
or the chosen dominant language, in order to
be successful in school. A decision to use one
or two languages requires cooperative agreement
between parents and teachers. The decision should
be based on an informed choices following evaluation
of the child’s skill level in both languages.
