| contents | Issues on raising a bilingual child in Costa Rica: a myth or a reality? Allen Quesada Pacheco Educación BFLA ML@H OPOL CODE SWITCHING This article deals with main issues concerning bilingualism and bilingual first language acquisition (BFLA). A review of the literature is presented on how children learn languages. In addition, this paper summarizes what bilingualism is and addresses how the One-parent One-language (OPOL) and the Minority Language at Home (ML@H) methods work. The paper includes sample testimonies of Itzel, a three-year-old child, raised with these methods. It also illustrates samples of her code-switching and code-mixing as part of her evolution in bilingual first language acquisition. Based on this evolution, there is some evidence that a child can become bilingual under foreign language conditions. Finally, the article reflects on the decisive role that dedication, consistency and effort have as crucial components to accomplish BFLA. 2011 artículo científico 1409-4703 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=44720020002 es http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=447 Revista Electrónica "Actualidades Investigativas en Educación" application/pdf Universidad de Costa Rica Revista Electrónica "Actualidades Investigativas en Educación" (Costa Rica) Num.2 Vol.11 |
