Why Are Names So Special?
Manage episode 454859412 series 3620582
In today’s episode of The Children’s Language Podcast, I want to explore how being multilingual and having a unique name can shape a child’s perspective, school experiences, and future career opportunities. As someone who’s navigated both, I’ve noticed how much a name—combined with language—can affect how others perceive you, the opportunities you’re given, and even your sense of identity. Whether it’s a first name tied to a cultural heritage or the ability to speak a second language, these elements play a crucial role in how kids are seen and how they see the world. Join me as I reflect on the lessons I’ve learned, both as a teacher and as someone who has lived through the power of names and multilingualism.
