In this episode of the Communicating series, Dr Francesca La Morgia, from Mother Tongues, discusses how we create an environment that welcomes multiple home languages, and how we can support meaningful communication where language is a barrier. We also talk about supporting parents and educators to feel confident about using their home language and how this supports a sense of identity and belonging and pride in their heritage among children. This series of Early Childhood Ireland's podcast is proudly supported by Arachas Insurance.
