From the Speaking in Tongues website: “Julian, Jason, Kelly, Durell. Four typical American kids with one exception. Their parents placed them in schools where, from the first day of Kindergarten, their teachers speak Chinese or Spanish. Why? To give them a career edge. To raise their academic achievement. To maintain their home language. Or to help communicate with their grandparents.
“What would it be like if your parents put you in a school where the teacher spoke a foreign language?”
Speaking in Tongues makes the case for promoting the maintaining of ones home language. Speaking in Tongues follows 4 diverse children in their roles as global citizens.
For more information and promotional goodies, see the film website.
