I've got to learn how to trackback! Travelling to the Expo in Melbourne today- here's my response to the blog above.....

It turns out that the best way to get children bilingual in schools is to teach them an easy language first -all the way- then transfer those concepts, skills and attitudes to a harder language later.
Linguists call it "the apprenticeship language strategy"and it new materials called "Talking to the Whole Wide World" make an Esperanto language apprenticeship something every primary school teacher can provide.
It will be on show at the Melbourne Educaton Expo at Caulfield Racetrack this weekend.
