Language+Action+Plan

=Implement a Language Action Plan=

**1. Talk about language with your family!**
 * What are the languages that your family has?
 * What are the linguistic goals that you have for your child?
 * What value does the language(s) have for your family/	child?
 * What do you foresee for your child educationally in the future?

**2. Pick a Family Language Plan**! Heather Vlach: 	heatherv@isb.ac.th
 * Determine the language plan that works best for your family and put it into action. Include everyone who is affected into the decision-making process and execution of the plan.

**3. Consistency!**
 * Remaining firm and consistent in your choices is KEY!

**4. Perseverance!**
 * Questioning, wondering, and feeling concerned about your language choices are normal feelings. Yourself, other people, or your child may try to talk you out of the decided plan. Remember that research is on your side, and plenty of time and patience will be required! Remain positive and firm about your decision. It will pay off!
