Speaking in Toungues

From the trailer:

“Julian, Jason, Kelly, Durell. Four typical American kids with one exception. Their parents placed them in schools where, from the first day of Kindergarten, their teachers speak Chinese or Spanish. Why? To give them a career edge. To raise their academic achievement. To maintain their home language. Or to help communicate with their grandparents."

“You will be charmed and challenged by this award-winning film’s insightful exploration of the rewards and hurdles these pioneering students face as they become bilingual. Enter their world and ask yourself… today, is one language enough?"

“What would it be like if your parents put you in a school where the teacher spoke a foreign language?"

“Speaking in Tongues uses this scenario to explore the provocative notion that being bilingual can be a national asset. Taking us beyond rote arguments and stereotypes, this intimate film witnesses the joys and challenges of four diverse children on their journey to become global citizens. Enter their world and ask, today is knowing one language enough?”
