Have you noticed that your child speaks less in their heritage language and more in English since they started school? Are you worried about its development and not sure whether to focus on English or the heritage language to support your child in school?
In this webinar, we will discuss ways to develop your child’s heritage language despite the growing competition from English in various contexts: school, peers, free-time activities. We will also discuss the benefits of developing and maintaining the heritage language for school success and present strategies to grow the language so that it supports their schoolwork.
As literacy is the area of focus at the start of primary school, we will also talk about its role in heritage language maintenance and ways to encourage children to read and write in both languages.
This webinar is designed for parents/carers of children between the ages of 4 and 11.
