  2. «Tongue» • A part of the body, thus part of a medical approach; there is an oppostion between mother tongue <-> to speak in foreign tongues • The learning of foreign languages: a striking exemple of «transplantation», be this partial or complete

  3. Additive or substractive bilingualism Substractive: extraction of one element (one language) and replacement by another one Our approach is additive: we keep our mother tongue and we add a new one

  4. How do we get access to languages? • Language acquisition is natural and mainly implicite and happens during the first years of our life, in this situation, our first language(s) represent our only way to communicate with our environment • Language learning is explicite and in most cases fostered through institutional means, it is often a free choice (more or less) for older learners (not infants) and it is more effective if it is also linked to the social environment

  5. Communicational efforts • Both ways, language acquisition and language learning, need energy • The motivation to learn is strenghtened if there is a link to our personal culture and identity.
