Raising Multilingual Children: Foreign Language… by Tracey Tokuhama-Espinosa
A fascinating overview of brain research and language acquisition in children, with discussion of strategies to raise a child multilingually. The author equates the process to cooking with a recipe and all the ingredients and tools required to do so successfully. The factors in raising multilingual children are: windows of opportunity, aptitude for foreign languages, motivation, strategy, consistency, opportunity and support, linguistic relationships between the first and second languages, siblings, gender and hand use.
