MyLanguage - Hold on to your home language
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.
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 Studies,
Faculty of Community Services, Ryerson University.
