The Early Childhood Voices Conference (ECV2024) offers a world first opportunity with its Multilingual Children’s Speech Development presentations. You can discover how children learn to speak more than 45 home languages by watching over 70 presentations provided by international experts in each language. The experts explain where the language is spoken, the components of the language (vowels, consonants, tones), and the assessments and interventions available to support children learning to speak that language.
Once you have listened to the presentations in English, you can listen to the same information presented in the language being spoken about. For example, you can hear how children learn to speak Kurdish in an English presentation and then listen again in Kurdish, or you can listen to a presentation about Greek in English and in Greek. These presentations will appeal to speech-language pathologists, teachers, psychologists, and linguists, as well as others wanting to learn linguistic terminology for information about each language. They may also be of interest to parents, second language learners, and people who want to listen to professional language users speaking in the language.
