In this energising episode, Deborah and Jacqueline dive into the powerful role home languages play in children’s identity, confidence, and communication. Discover why bilingualism is an asset, what the “funds of knowledge” approach means for practice, and how simple everyday interactions can transform language learning for children with English as an additional language. Packed with practical ideas, warm reflections, and inclusive strategies, this episode is perfect for educators, students, and anyone passionate about nurturing joyful, meaningful communication from the very start.
