There are shifting demographics across our country that change the way early care and education professionals introduce language in their environments. Currently there are over 110 languages spoken in Ohio and studies have shown that supporting children's home language in their early learning and education settings is a critical component to optimal language development. Come to this session to find out how bilingualism is defined, what the stages of development are for children learning more than one language, and how you can best support these children even if you only speak one language yourself. This session is Module III of the five part series on supporting young English Language Learners.
