Why is bilingualism important for children in Wales?
Colin Baker
The reason is that it will affect the rest of their lives and those of their parents. Being bilingual, multilingual, or monolingual is likely to affect a child’s identity, networks of friends and acquaintances, schooling, employment, marriage, preferred area of residence, travel and thinking. Bilingualism increases opportunities and choices.
