A new study from the University of Granada in Spain and the University of York in Toronto, Canada, shows that bilingual children have a better working memory than monolingual children. Download the research article here on morsmal.org.
Working memory is the ability to hold, process, and update information over short periods of time. The working memory plays a major role in the execution of a wide range of activities, such as mental calculation and reading comprehension.
Norway: 70 students from the aesthetic line of pre-school education at the University of Oslo and Akershus (HiOA) has organized a children's cultural festival.

The International Mother Language Day is celebrated around the world on the 21 February. In connection with the day, the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) writes on their website:
"Children need to be taught in their own language, at least in the first five to six years of school, because it provides a better and more effective learning. Yet teachers all over the world over often teach in a language in which children - and often also teachers themselves - do not understand good enough. The resulted outcome is a poorer school performance than if the instruction had been given in a language that children and teachers could follow."
The International Mother Language Day was proclaimed by UNESCO's General Conference in November 1999. The International Day has been observed every year since February 2000 to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism.
This year's theme for the International Mother Language Day (IMLD) is "Books for mother tongue education".
