Workshop on Raising Multilingual Children - November 16th 2016

There will be a workshop in Geneva entitled Raising multilingual children:Foreign Language Acquisition and Children on Wednesday November 16 from 18:00 - 22:00.

The workshop will be given by world-renowned specialist in education and neuroscience, Tracey Tokuhama-Espinosa, Ph.D. Tracey is half Japanese-American, half Irish-Native American and is married to an Ecuadorian. Her 3 children aged 24, 21 and 19 speak fluent English, Spanish and German and some French. Tracey Tokuhama-Espinosa, author of “Raising Multilingual Children” and five other books on the brain and learning, is visiting Switzerland to present her workshops. Tracey will explain how children learn languages and answer your questions such as: Is it ok to have 2, 3, 4 languages at the same time or is it better for children to learn languages consecutively? When should your children learn multiliteracy skills? Who should speak what in order to maximize the best language skills? Should you learn a foreign language alongside your children? Raising your child multilingually has worked so far, but now your child is growing up and you have different questions about identity, literacy, strategy, etc. Come with your own questions and be prepared to share your own concerns about the best way to raise multilingual children.
