Global study by new faculty Elika Bergelson finds three key predictors of language development. They may surprise you.

Early childhood education classrooms across the U.S. provide significantly fewer conversational turns for children who are dual language learners than for their monolingual peers.

New research from Harvard developmental psychologist Elika Bergelson offers a broader global perspective on language development than ever before seen. It emphasizes the importance of fostering interactive and communicative environments for children, and also probes the long-assumed connection between early talk and socioeconomic status.

A new research study shows having conversations with infants and toddlers will eventually help their reading skills.

UPDATED: Researchers in Chile have used LENA technology to show important connections between conversational turns and social development.

Highlights from LENA's webinar about dual language learners in early childhood education.

In this webinar, we’ll outline the mismatch between science and practice around multilingualism. How do we push aside myths about barriers and deficits to arrive at a place where one child’s multilingualism is considered an asset for all?

A study published in the Journal of Neuroscience uses MRI and LENA technology to show that conversational turns as early as six months of age uniquely predict brain development at two years of age.

Two independent program evaluations of LENA Grow show links between the professional development program and positive outcomes for early childhood educators and the children in their care.
