Abstract:

The lives of many families involve contact with more than one
language and culture on a daily basis. These children can potentially
become proficient in both the languages around them, provided they
receive enough input in both languages. Growing up with Two Languages
is aimed at the many parents and professionals who feel uncertain
about the best way to go about helping children to gain maximum
benefit from the situation.

Every family's situation is different, but there is a good deal that
parents can do to make life with two languages easier for their
children. Families often establish an informal system for deciding
who speaks what language in which situation. Consistency in sticking
to the system will be helpful to the child, especially at the
beginning. The "one person-one language" system, where each person
speaks one of the languages (usually his/her native language) to the
child and the "minority language at home" system, where the entire
family speaks the language which is not spoken in the community at
home are two of the most common systems.

There are, however, as many variations on these systems as there are
families. There is no right or wrong way - here each family has to
find its own system. Growing up with Two Languages is illustrated by
glimpses of life from interviews with fifty families from all around
the world. The trials and rewards of life with two languages and
cultures are discussed in detail, and followed by practical advice on
how to support the child's linguistic development.
