Welcome!

The purpose of mylanguage.ca is to provide research-based information about the importance of maintaining and protecting the many minority languages
spoken in homes across Canada.

The goal of mylanguage.ca is to help parents, teachers, childcare workers and service providers understand the personal, social, linguistic and academic reasons for maintaining and protecting home languages. More about this website...

FACT

Work with immigrant families shows that family languages are too often at risk.This means that as immigrant children learn English, home languages take second place, are forgotten and lost.



NEED FOR ACTION

Home languages are important. When they are forgotten a great deal is changed and lost. They need to be protected.


Mylanguage.ca comes to you from the
School of Early Childhood Education,
Faculty of Community Services, Ryerson University.
