Bilingualism and mathematical skills - Pre-recorded lecture

Join our online conference on bilingualism and mathematical skills, now available for replay. In 90 minutes, explore the fascinating intersections between bilingualism and mathematical skills, presented by a duo of experts in these fields. Discover the impact of bilingualism on the development of early mathematical skills as well as on formal mathematical learning in school.

Hosted by Geneviève Rainville and Melissa Farkouh, this conference is ideal for speech-language pathologists, educators, and child development professionals.

During this conference, we answered essential questions based on current research, such as:

• How does bilingualism in preschoolers and students influence their math learning?
• Which math skills are particularly influenced by the proficiency level in the language of instruction?
• What are the effects of a change in the language of instruction on a student's academic journey?
• What cognitive benefits result from bilingualism?
• How can assessment methods for bilingual students be adapted?
• What strategies can we implement to support the math learning of bilingual students?

This conference is ideal for you, speech-language pathologist, remedial teacher, psychologist, teacher or educator, and for anyone interested in bilingualism and math education. Don't miss the opportunity to discover practical strategies and evidence-based insights to support the learning of bilingual children.
