If you’re raising bilingual children, you’ve likely heard the word exposure over and over again. We need to give our kids exposure to the target language, right? But what is exposure? How is it defined in the context of bilingualism? And more importantly, how much is enough? Does quality matter more than quantity?
In this week’s episode, we’re delving into this topic with Rosario Rumiche, manager of the Language Development Lab at Florida Altantic University, where researchers have been studying how language development is different in children who are acquiring two languages simultaneously.
