This episode is a conversation about the neuropsychology of bilingualism, with a focus on children and the developing brain. We review concepts including language acquisition during fetal and early life development, sequential versus simultaneous bilingualism, L1 versus L2, BICS and CALP, cognitive effects of bilingualism (particularly executive functions), neuroanatomy and neuroimaging, and impact of SES on language development. We also cover clinically oriented topics related to conducting neuropsychological evaluations in bilingual children, such as assessing language proficiency prior to cognitive testing, effectively utilizing interpreters, normative data selection, report writing, feedback, and teleneuropsychology.

Founder of the Learning Cosmos André Hedlund explores the growing challenges of maintaining attention spans in the age of digital distractions. André dives into the impact of screen time, executive functions' role in learning, and how going back to basics can foster focus and resilience in our classrooms.Watch the episode with closed captions.KEY TALKING POINTSDigital Overload:André highlights how delegating human interaction to devices has contributed to declining IQ levels for the first time in recorded history. He explains why educators must rethink the role of technology in teaching to align with how the brain processes information.Executive Functions:André explains the importance of training the brain's "operational control centre'‘ through situations that challenge students' impulse control, emotional regulation, and focus. He emphasises how avoiding frustration deprives learners of opportunities to develop these critical skills.The Dopamine Dilemma:André dives into the neuroscience behind dopamine and how easily accessible digital rewards disrupt the brain's balance. He advocates for finding healthier ways to engage students without relying on instant gratification.Back to Basics:From play-based learning to fostering genuine human connections, André urges educators to revisit traditional methods that prioritise interaction, exploration, and meaningful experiences over digital dependence.ABOUTAndré Hedlund is a Chevening (pronounced as evening) Alumnus, MSc Psychology of Education - University of Bristol, Educational Consultant, Speaker, Author, and Guest Lecturer on Bilingualism and Cognition in Postgraduate courses.

Senior Teaching Associate Josianne Block shares insights on how embracing learners' linguistic resources can enhance communication, foster inclusivity, and create a more dynamic learning environment.Closed captions here.What is translanguaging?Josianne defines translanguaging as the natural blending of languages to communicate effectively. She shares real-world examples, such as using gestures, words from other languages we know, and cultural knowledge to convey meaning.The role of translanguagingJosianne explains how translanguaging reflects the interconnected nature of languages in our minds. Far from being a shortcut, it's a powerful tool for building confidence and fostering curiosity among learners.Classroom strategiesJosianne describes how she incorporates translanguaging by:Starting lessons by writing vocabulary words in learners' languages.Exploring cross-linguistic similarities with idioms and expressions.Creating visual displays that highlight the linguistic diversity of her students.Safe learning spacesJosianne emphasises the importance of establishing clear guidelines for using learners' first languages. She shares how this approach helps students transition from relying on their native languages to gaining confidence in English.Quick ideas to tryVocabulary Connections: Begin a lesson by having students write translations of key vocabulary in other languages they speak on the board to spark engagement.Compare Idioms: Discuss an English idiom and invite students to share similar expressions in their own languages.Celebrate Linguistic Diversity: Create classroom charts or displays featuring common phrases in all the languages spoken by your learners.ABOUTJosianne is based in Malta, a small island in the Mediterranean. She has over ten years of teaching experience in English and currently works as a senior teaching associate at the University of Malta.

Learning multiple languages can benefit our kids in more ways than just being able to speak two or more languages. Being bilingual, or multilingual, can give kids more confidence and increase their ability to use both sides of their brains. Above all else, it can give kids an understanding of other cultures and provide them with tools to navigate a multicultural world. Dr. Sugely Solano is an Administrator of Multilingual Learners and has over 16 years of experience as a school counselor, ESOL teacher, coordinator, and administrator of multilingual learners. As an English language learner and language enthusiast,  she advocates for multilingual learners' education. Dr. Solano collaborates with parents, teachers, and leaders in the school district where she works. Dr. Solano joins me on the Heartful Parent Podcast today to discuss the challenges she faced while pursuing her own education, which motivated her to become a school counselor and help others. Dr. Solano and I touch on the importance of bilingualism and the cultural and cognitive benefits of learning multiple languages. She also shares some advice for those listeners who would like to support your own child on their language-learning journey. You can connect with Sugely, sign up for her newsletter, and learn more about raising a language learner at raisinglanguagelearners.com.

Today's conversation is the third in a series of check-ins with my good friend and new bilingual mom, Samantha. We previously checked in when Samantha's daughter was 12 months and 15 months.  If you missed our first two conversations, you can go back and hear them (they are episode 50 and episode 56). We recorded this update back in the spring, when Samantha's daughter was 18 months old, right after her family returned from a trip to Italy to visit her partner's family. I hope you enjoy this 18-month check in with Samantha!

As someone who considers themself at least semi-literate, with the benefit of a reasonable education and at least a passing interest in the world, I can confirm there is nothing quite so humbling in middle-age as learning a new language. At short notice, I'm hoping to briefly visit a Latin American country for my work in a few weeks' time, and in preparation this week I downloaded a few apps and subscribed to podcasts to try and re-up my Spanish. My history with Spanish is one of big surges and even bigger retreats. I studied it until seventh form at high school. I wasn't very good but at least I learnt a few nouns and could ask some basic questions. But when I moved to New York as a 24-year-old I decided to learn Spanish in a way I never had when I was a teenager. I moved to a Latin neighbourhood. I did thrice-weekly lessons on Skype, just speaking with a tutor friend in Mexico's south. After a few months of studying, I decided to visit her. “Estoy excitado,” I said, trying to express my excitement at the impending trip. My tutor laughed and explained that'd just informed a conservative Catholic mother that I was horny. “Gaah... estoy tan embarazada!” I blushed. She bent over in laughter again. Turns out embarazada is not embarassed. Embarazada is pregnant. It's amazing what immersion will do though. When I visited Chiapas, I'd collapse in bed, exhausted at the end of every day from 12-hours of speaking. But after just a few weeks, I could swear I was just starting to dream in Spanish. That's when you know it's sticking. Then, though. Oof. An almighty retreat. I fell out of lessons and Spanish fell out of my head. I eventually moved home and studied Māori, which I absolutely loved, but which has a similar vowel sound to Spanish. Often over the years when I've reached for the word, I've pulled a noun from the wrong language. And now, I'm embarrassed to admit that although my wife is Persian, in Farsi I can't even say hello. There are some people though, for whom language comes easier than others. I'm good with sound and speaking with false confidence but very poor with grammar. My brother is much more studious, but I swear he also just gets grammatical structure. It's like he sees the matrix when he's studying language. I'm fascinated by people who can speak many languages. There's a New Zealander named Harold Williams, who basically no one has ever heard of, who is considered one of the greatest polyglots in history. He was the foreign editor for The Times in London and spoke as many as 58 languages. As a lad in Christchurch in the late 1800s, he described having a ‘brain explosion' when he was about seven-years-old. He bought himself the New Testament in every language his bookshop could order and taught himself that way. Our historic comfort in our majority monolingualism is one of the great faults of New Zealand culture. It's sloppy. Insular. It's embarrassing to visit poor neighbourhoods in poor countries and realise that despite the relative lack of educational opportunities, kids can speak more languages than many or most of us can. It's wonderful to see the revitalisation of te reo Māori, but New Zealand must still be one of the most monolingual developed countries on Earth. So, here we go again. Like trying to start a lawnmower that's been sitting in the shed for fifteen years, I'm pulling at the starter cord and pleading the engine to fire. “The cat likes to sleep.” “I would like to buy a ticket for the train.” It's so humbling to go so far back. Embarazada, even. And yet still so rewarding when you feel something stick. Excitado! That's the thing about language. More than vowels and consonants, it is the front door to culture, a gate to a whole new World. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Identity in Times of Crisis, Part V: Identity & Sociolinguistics Summary In this episode, I explore the deep connection between language and identity, ‎examining how our linguistic habits shape how others perceive us. We delve into the ‎idea of heritage languages, native speaker myths, and how education influences our ‎linguistic development and identity. Drawing on historical and cultural perspectives, we ‎look at how language standards and policies affect individuals and communities. Our ‎identities are closely linked to the languages we use and how we use them, even if we ‎are unaware of this connection. People interpret our identities based on our language, ‎and these interpretations are shaped by the deep historical layers embedded in every ‎language. Education plays a key role in managing these linguistic layers, teaching ‎standard languages, and expanding students' linguistic abilities, all of which influence ‎how their identities are perceived. This process occurs within a broader cultural tension ‎about how language reflects the "genius" of its speakers and the extent to which ‎individuals embody that.

After the shocking 2016 election, it was Arlie Hochschild in her book "Strangers in Their Own Land," not "Hillbilly Elegy," that truly explained the power of populist appeal in Appalachia. In my recent conversation with Hochschild, about her new book “Stolen Pride: Loss, Shame, and the Rise of the Right,” the renowned sociologist continues this exploration, emphasizing the crucial need for what she calls cultural bilingualism to bridge America's political divide. Hochschild argues that understanding today's politics requires examining the role of emotions, particularly pride and shame. She introduces the "pride paradox" and explains how Donald Trump has masterfully manipulated these emotions to gain support. By transforming "lost pride" into "stolen pride," Trump channels feelings of loss and shame into blame, creating a powerful emotional narrative. Hochschild's work, based on deep, empathetic listening in Appalachia, reveals how economic decline and cultural shifts have reshaped political allegiances.

For over 157 years, the Canadian federation has derived its legitimacy from a written constitution made up of 31 documents, the majority of which have no legal force in the French language, among them the foundational Constitution Act of 1867, formerly referred to as the British North America Act. While the Constitution Act of 1982 was written and adopted in both official languages, the remaining 71% of the documents, though translated, have yet to be promulgated. 42 years and counting. How did we get here? And what are the consequences of a 71% unilingual constitution? Professor François Larocque, holder of the first Canadian Francophonie Research Chair in Language Rights since 2018, is one of Canada's top experts on language rights and is currently involved in litigation aimed at solving this issue once and for all.The French version of this episode is available here: Canadian Bar Association - Juriste branché (cba.org).Constitution bilingue / Bilingual Constitution (youtube.com)

Today's episode is the second in a series of check-ins with my good friend and new bilingual mom, Samantha! In our first conversation, I introduced you to Samantha and her one-year-old daughter, who is learning both English and Italian at home. We talkd about the joys and challenges Samantha was experiencing with her daughter's bilingualism, and what her daughter's language use was like as she turned one year old. So if you didn't get a chance to listen to that first episode, I encourage you to go back and listen to that one first! That was episode number 50, from November 1st, 2023. Today's episode is our next check-in, for 15 months old! Since our last check-in, Samantha and her family traveled to Italy to spend time with her in-laws, and her daughter got to experience Italian culture, food, and language in Italy for the first time. I hope you enjoy this 15-month check in with Samantha!

Welcome to Talking to Grandma, a weekly podcast that elevates stories, science, and strategies to help you raise and teach multilingual and bilingual children. Hosted by Dr. Veronica Benavides, founder and CEO of Bilingual Generation, an organization that helps children with bilingualism in their bones stay connected to their heritage languages and cultures. Talking to Grandma host, Dr. Veronica Benavides is returning to SXSW Edu next week to lead a panel alongside Dr. Vanessa Santiago Schwarz called Sí Sabo: Children with Bilingualism in Their Bones Speak. Last summer Armando Orduña and his daughter Giuliana shared their vulnerable conversation about language, identity, and growing up bilingual in America. This conversation and other talks with kids with bilingualism in their bones sparked the inspiration for this panel discussion.  This week, we bring you these inspiring conversations from the archives of Talking to Grandma as we revisit this episode we published last summer. If you're heading to SXSW EDU this year, be sure to stop by the panel on Tuesday, March 5th, at 11:30 AM! We hope to see you in Austin! 

Overview: In this episode, Christine looks at the relationship between language, identity, and communication, sharing a story about her night with Wu-Tang. She also tells us how the Irish language was “battered out of” people with a special type of stick. As you celebrate International Mother Language Day, reflect on the significance of languages in shaping our perceptions, experiences, and cultural heritage.Christine Considers: Language and Identity: Language is not just a means of communication; it is deeply intertwined with our sense of self. But when does language shape our identity? Is it only our “mother tongue” or do second languages play a part?International Mother Language Day: Originating from the sacrifices made in Bangladesh in 1952 to preserve their language, this day emphasises the importance of linguistic diversity and cultural heritage.Neuroscience of Language: Research in neuroscience reveals how language shapes our thoughts and perceptions. From colour perception to concepts of agency and ownership, language influences how we experience the world.Bilingualism and Identity: Bilingual professionals often face pressure to conform to native English standards. Embracing linguistic diversity fosters understanding and inclusivity.Challenging Linguistic Divides: It's crucial to challenge societal attitudes that undermine linguistic diversity. By opening conversations and embracing curiosity about different languages and cultures, we promote solidarity and tolerance.Core Identity: Despite language adaptations, does our core identity remain unchanged? It's the essence of who we are, often transcending linguistic boundaries.Support the Podcast: https://bit.ly/Connected_CommunicationInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/connected_communication Hosted on Acast.

Today's podcast highlights new research on the impact of bilingualism on cognitive processes by Grace deMeurisse and Edith Kaan from the University of Florida. Over half of the world speaks multiple languages, including the majority of first-generation immigrants to the United States. This exciting new research highlights the continuum of mental capacities expressed in bilingualism and how factors like age and proficiency levels further impact cognitive processes. Although politically our country has never embraced and promoted bilingualism, this timely research provides us with new insights on the positive impacts of bilingualism on cognition including improved attentional control and sophisticated information filtering. Given the influx of immigrant children into our school systems, HealthCare Untold applauds researchers Grace deMeurisse and Edith Kaan for their important contributions to understanding the intellectual value of being able to speak more than one language.
