Cambridge Bilingualism Network

Description

The Cambridge Bilingualism Network is an initiative set up by researchers at the University of Cambridge who work with people of all ages and backgrounds who speak more than one language.

Members know that raising and educating children to speak two or more languages does not just happen by itself. The aim of the Network is to increase awareness about the benefits and challenges of bilingualism by sharing state-of-the-art research findings. It is also fostering partnerships between researchers, teachers, clinicians and parents of bilingual children by building interactive support networks whose members can ask and answer questions and share resources.

The Network’s initiative is relevant to parents and professionals across the UK but it also has a strong regional focus, celebrating the linguistic and cultural diversity of Cambridgeshire.
