 LANGUAGE STRATEGIES FOR TRILINGUAL FAMILIES

Parents' Perspectives

Andreas Braun and Tony Cline

*Through their interviews with trilingual families in the UK and Germany,
the authors present a complex and multifaceted reality of the various
beliefs and language practices of trilingual families. This unique book
shows that there is no single pathway to becoming trilingual and that
trilingualism is a dynamic process that constantly adapts to evolving
circumstances.*

Xiao-lei Wang, Pace University, USA

This book aims to enable parents in trilingual families to consider
possible language strategies suited to their individual circumstances. It
includes a tool for diagnostic self-analysis that will help each reader to
identify their situation and learn how parents in similar situations have
approached the task of supporting their children's use of languages.
