Congeners in different languages

Free bilingual tool (French + English) to support the observation of language development in children aged 0 to 60 months. Designed for speech-language pathologists, early childhood educators, and language stimulation specialists, based on the latest evidence.

The resource "Cognates in different languages" offers a compilation of cognate words—words with the same origin, similar meaning, and similar phonetic form—in four languages: French, English, Spanish, and Arabic.

Created to support speech-language pathologists, teachers, and language stimulation specialists, this resource helps develop lexical comprehension and linguistic awareness in bilingual, plurilingual, or allophone children.

It relies on evidence-based practices in speech-language pathology and language didactics to promote positive linguistic transfer between languages.

Possible Uses:

• In clinical or school settings, to reinforce interlinguistic vocabulary;
• In parental support, to encourage exchanges in multiple languages;
• In assessment, to observe phonological and semantic sensitivity in bilingual children.

An essential tool for any professional wishing to integrate an inclusive and research-based approach into their work with young learners.
