• Children’s brains are wired to
learn more than one
language
• Learning and developing in
more than one language
does NOT delay growth nor
development • Instead, it promotes more efficient cognitive
functioning, academic achievement and
enhances learning English
• There may be negative consequences in
losing the Home Language

promote the acquisition
of English for children who
are DLLs.” (OHS, 2011)
