Book: Language Strategies for Trilingual Families

[Francis Hult]

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.

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.
