The importance of mother tongue in language learning

Sometimes when a child starts learning English, their parents – or even their teachers – may think it beneficial to use English at home instead of the child’s mother tongue. However, research shows that this may in fact be counterintuitive. Why is this? How does supporting the mother tongue benefit children, and what does it have to do with early foreign language learning? We will address these questions in our second webinar of 2021.
