I am an English teacher in a multilingual society, and I am speechless. I am so blessed with your video today in my passion of being a language teacher in my community, not only teaching English but also preaching the value of mother tongues or home language as you said.
so interesting! I am a native English speaker. When I was in high school I studied both Spanish and Korean. I studied Spanish in school, and Korean on my own time. I remember learning specific concepts in Korean, and having a better understanding of them when I learned them in my Spanish class. Perhaps this was because I did not have to re-learn the concepts themselves, but only the new ways of expression.
I'm trying to think of a summary of the talk... I think its like this: Using the child's mother tongue to talk about their English learning is a good thing. Or using their mother tongue in class in conjunction with English is a good thing. Most of the research is pointing to English immersion right? Immerse yourself or your child into the language environment. So this talk is interesting
Myrcella Baratheon embrace our mother tongue because it built the base of acknowledging in your system and, he claimed that our brains are hardwired for language, so regardless how many languages we learnt, theyre all connected in our brains.
mother tongue. talk to children at home with mother tongue. ask them how they in school using mother tongue. your children will explain well. (english not alwyas used to study, just use mother tongue to study. if they are able speaking english, they will explain deeply, than you study someting with english.)
Today, I also uploaded a short video which title is "LEARNING A SECOND LANGUAGE COMES WITH A PRICE BUT WHAT IF IT IS YOUR MOTHER TONGUE?" and when I search it, I found this video as well as mine in the search list.💕💕
Why 'restrict' reading to our children in English? It's precisely because we would be extremely restricting their access to good, living books if we just read in our mother tongue. In my mother tongue, there are only a handful of children's books available, literally!!! I have no choice but to read to them in English if want them to enjoy the blessing of books in their childhood.
The main problem is that which we don't bother to see, our children are raise in their mother tongue by birth but suddenly we start emphasising to learn a new and completely different language. How is it possible when we put suddenly a full-stop on speaking, reading and writing in their mother tongue.
Hi, I’m Henry Guo. I’ve been spending more than 100,000 hours studying English humor and culture and spending more than 100,000 hours studying Chinese humor and culture. I’m teaching Chinese language in jokes. Hope you can help me promote the funny way of teaching Chinese.
Yes, there is this unfortunate superstition that it is "bad" for children to use/learn more than one language, or that it will confuse/overload them, or will make them learn a language less well. In contrast, secondary schools in europe that prepare you for university have been teaching 3-5 foreign languages simultaneously for many decades Speaking 4 languages is not "showing off". For lots of people it's an economic necessity, or culturally normal. If you learn a concept in one language, you may find that it is completely lacking in another language. If you think you are incapable of learning another language, it may help to learn Esperanto before trying again. See wikipedia Propaedeutic_value_of_esperanto
@@kay8x Depends on your skill in the second, third and so on language. If your good enough in a language to understand it subconsciously, I don't think there will be much differences. It may also depend on the field. I am German for example, but speak fluent English. I am also a huge History Fan. Since most of what I learned about History was in English, I find it much easier to read about History in English than German, my actual native language. I know for example what Counts, Dukes, Heirs, Regents are, what position they are and when and where they are called such. I couldn't tell you the same in German.

He is truly an inspiring teacher.📌
Great! Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom! To learn another langue is really difficult but not impossible.

Thank you
I needed this. Thank you!
At 9:53 the audience didn't laugh at his joke, such a let down. Probably because they didn't understand it.
Great presentation.
Very insightful.
It works

im disappointed

Ironically, there are no foreign subtitles :|

In early childhood education, yes. Teachers use mother tongue to scaffold. But you should be able to learn with both languages in the later years.
