Supporting multilingual children: "It takes a village"
|
he families of multilingual children are the experts in their child's language learning and development but, as the African proverb says, "It takes a village."
Supporting children to keep their native language alive is an important role for early childhood educators and will promote a sense of belonging, as children and families feel their language and cultural practices are valued.
Australia is culturally and linguistically diverse, with Census data showing one in five Australians speak a language other than English at home.
Collectively, Australians speak more than 200 languages with more than 50 of these actively spoken Australian Indigenous languages. This situation poses opportunities and challenges for early childhood educators, especially those who only speak English.
