Bilingual Case Inpong is a 2 ½ year old only child with Down’s Syndrome whose family speaks Lao in the home. Inpong watches some TV in English and the next-door neighbor boy speaks English (who is 5) sometimes comes by to play in the driveway. His mother has some comprehension of English and speaks it in short phrases. Inpong has just begun to produce 3-4 words, one in English (no) and he says music, mama, soup and bye in Lao. He also demonstrates some motor delays. Inpong’s father learned English in college and speaks some conversational English. He is saving to bring Inpong’s grandparents over for child care so that Inpong’s mother can attend classes to get her GED. Presently he drives a cab and Inpong’s mother is home with the child during the day. Mom reports Inpong can understand her when she gives the child simple commands like giving her a toy. Dad reports he practices his English with Inpong by singing songs from his favorite television shows and books but Inpong can only sing along to some of the sounds particularly when its repetitive. Father is proud that Inpong can point to all his own body parts, the characters from Baby Shark and from Brown Bear in English. Mom is worried Inpong is not able to do this in Lao but does not want to discourage his English. Answer the following questions base on the case: What is your personal definition of bilingualism? 2. Think about what factors or domains you would include in this definition. 3. Based on that definition, is Inpong bilingual?
