I added some links to my ‘communicative tools’ and ‘communicative bloggers’ sections. Check out Wanna Jugar with Migo, a fabulous blog by a mom & grandmother who are bringing up their kids/grandkids bilingual. (I had a professor who’d go crazy analyzing that codeswitching, lol.) The links and tools and ideas people come up with amaze me! I swiped two other amazing links from their blog–Spanglish Baby (WHY did I not know about this before??) and John De Mado’s site on his methods of making foreign language learning fun.
Regardless of the age we’re teaching, you know my mantra–the beginner acquiring language is a basically a toddler with a lot of metalinguistic knowledge.
I had the other links, but I hadn’t thought of checking out John DeMado’s page. I’ve heard him speak several times. I’m on my way there to check it out. Thanks!
