What Does Storytelling Tell Us About Language and Learning of Bilingual Students- Implications for Language Sciences and Children's Education

Lead: Masahiko Minami, Professor, Foreign Language and Literature
Date and Time: April 4, 2009 - 3:00pm - 4:00pm
Location: Humanities 473

How different languages signal meaning and what those differences imply for teaching multiple language students are crucial studies in an increasingly international university. Masahiko Minami has spent many years researching how bilingual children and adults understand and communicate in two or more languages. In this session, he will explore and explicate the language and learning relationship, by revealing how bilingual children use temporal, adversative and causal connectives, and what features of each language they emphasize in narrative.
