5International Mother Language Day
6Learning foreign language is important for future
Being bilingual means being able to speak two languages well and also knowing something about both cultures. It’s about being able to understand when someone is speaking another language and being able to switch into speaking it with them. A bilingual child at two and a half can understand that ‘Daddy speaks French and Mummy speaks English.
B. In this case it is logical that with an English mother and French father children should be able to speak both languages to communicate, not only with parents but also with other family members. Learning two or more languages helps children to accept cultures other than their own. If speaking their mother language or languages at home and at school is encouraged, they are more likely to enjoy their difference and see difference in general as a positive thing.
C. The first Mother Language Day was celebrated internationally on 21 February 2000. This date originated in Bangladesh where in 1952 a few students were killed in demonstrations protecting their mother language, Bangla. UNESCO has been celebrating International Mother Language Day for nearly 20 years now with the aim of encouraging cultural difference and worldwide tolerance.
D. Each year the celebration presents a different aspect of language from how children improve their grammar skills at school to how to save some of the 6,000 languages that exist worldwide. One year was about developing the teaching of mother languages, and in 2002 the celebration helped raise linguistic and cultural traditions around the world.
E. By speaking other languages as well as your own, or having two or more mother languages, you can help to create global community. Our support to this multilingual community is to get our children acquainted with varied cultures and languages and to try and learn a language of people around us.
