Natalia Sáez is a professor and researcher at Teachers College Columbia University focusing on second language development as well as bilingual/bicultural education. Natalia is also the founder and co-owner of TraducGlobal, which offers language services to clients around the world. She holds a Master of Arts degree in Cognitive Science from Universidad de Chile, and a Master of Arts degree in Applied Linguistics from Teachers College Columbia University, from which she also has a Doctor of Education degree specializing in Applied Linguistics.
In this conversation we talk about Natalia’s experiences growing up in both NYC and in Chile, and what role languages played in her life as a child and a young adult. We talk about her work as a professor and researcher in the Applied Linguistics and Bilingual Education departments at Teachers College Columbia University in New York, and she shares her advice for both parents and teachers when working with bilingual or multilingual children. Natalia has some really great insights about language development and language education, and I think you’ll learn a lot from her – I certainly did!
