"Birth Language Education for Transnational Adoptees"
In this presentation, Sarah Shin talks about how American parents go about introducing their internationally adopted children to their birth language. She describes the parents’ motivations for seeking birth language education for their children and factors that undermine the parents’ goals. She discusses the role that language programs can play in creating classes that are specifically suited to the needs of adoptees and adoptive families.
