Bilingual Families: A Practical Language Planning Guide

This book builds on the author's extensive experience of helping and advising families on how to raise their children as successful bilinguals and multilinguals. Families will learn how to identify and set language goals and develop a 'living' family language plan that will grow and develop as the family does. Parents will be able to understand and utilise the latest academic research on multilingualism, discuss multilingualism with their children and other key adults, and recognise when further support might be needed. The book can be used as a stand-alone guide for families embarking on their language journey, or as an accompaniment to the author's successful seminars for families and schools.
