It is crucial to develop children’s positive dispositions towards language and literacy. When they have interest and find joy in communicating and reading in both EL and MTL, they are more likely to remain motivated to learn in both languages. This motivation makes it easier to acquire and continue using the languages, even after they leave preschool.
