What is the best way to structure the bilingual language environment? There is a long-held belief that the one person-one language approach that minimizes language switching and non-native input is ideal when rearing a bilingual child. However, there is little empirical support for this belief. In this talk, I will discuss what we know about the effects of dual-language input and of non-native input on bilingual children’s language performance. I will consider the possibility that the presence of two languages in the input may have distinct consequences for children with weak language skills vs. children with typical language skills. I will conclude by reflecting on how empirical findings align with current language intervention practices. This research was supported in part by NIDCD Grants R03 DC010465 (Kaushanskaya) and R01 DC011750 (Ellis Weismer and Kaushanskaya). |
