Layman's description
The aim of this workshop is to better understand how children who are born into homes where more than one language is spoken, learn and develop their knowledge of two or more language at the same time. This group of children is different to those children who learn one language at a time and hence calls for a different theory to understand how this happens. This workshop will help students and scholars explore and discuss the issues.
