Using side-by side translation is highly discouraged as it often results in children tuning out when the language they do not understand is being used. Carefully planned and intentional use of code switching may be a way to support learning for some children. When possible, it is preferable to have one adult be the model for English, and another adult be the model for a home language other than English.

I cant remember exactly when it happened, but eventually I lost most of it. I can communicate with my parents, I understand what they are saying, but I often have trouble finding the right words to answer them… PEL Resource Guide, Second Edition, p. 61

Language loss is a common occurrence for children learning a second language, and this loss can have negative implications for the childs connection with the family and community.
