The document summarizes the benefits of excellent language teaching and learning, which involves teaching grammar and vocabulary in context rather than in isolation, making connections to other disciplines, and incorporating culture into all lessons rather than separating language from its cultural context. It notes that this approach leads to benefits like greater cognitive flexibility, higher-order thinking skills, and higher math and verbal SAT scores with each additional year of language study. It also emphasizes the importance of maintaining one's home language and discusses concepts like balanced bilingualism, third-culture kids, and ways parents can support language learning.
Bingualism refers to the phenomenon of competence and communication in two languages. A bilingual individual is someone who has the ability to communicate in two languages alternately. Such an ability or psychological state in the individual has been referred to as bilinguality (Hamers and Blanc 2000). A bilingual society is one in which two languages are used for communication. In a bilingual society, it is possible to have a large number of monolinguals (those who speak only one of the two languages used in that society), provided that there are enough bilinguals to perform the functions requiring bilingual competence in that society. There is therefore a distinction between individual bilingualism and societal bilingualism.

This is the introductory lecture of the first Yaounde Summer School on African Multilingualism (YSSAM) that was held at the University of Yaounde 1, August 5 - 11, 2017. Terms frequently used in the study of multilingualism are reviewed and some clarifications offered. These include: multilingualism vs. plurilingualism, linguistic diversity, language ideologies.
YSSAM is part of the project entitled "Language documentation, fieldwork training models, and computational tools for understanding linguistic stability and change", funded by the U.S. NSF (Award No. BCS-1360763).

23. Third-culture kids
“A third culture kid is a person who has spent a significant part of his
or her developmental years outside their parents’ culture. The third
culture kid builds relationships
to all the cultures, while not having
full ownership in any. Although
elements from each culture are
assimilated into the third
culture kid’s life experience,
the sense of belonging is in
relationship to others of the
same background,
other TCKs.”
