Although English is my native language I've been learning and speaking French for so long now that I always felt it would be a real shame to not use it in my professional life. All the advice posted on this site has really encouraged me and made me even more excited about pursuing this career. I'm also really interested in doing an internship in France at some point, so if you happen to come back to this site some day Naima and know of any therapists or schools who would need any help related to Speech...http://www.englishforums.com/English/SpeechAndLanguageTherapy/cklnw/post.htm#302819Tue, 21 Apr 2009 15:36:55 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:302819Anonymous34http://www.englishforums.com/English/SpeechAndLanguageTherapy/cklnw/post.htm#302819http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments7-302819.xmlDear Naima, I was doing some research on the internet when I came across your posting.

We have 11 official languages and so it is obviously not possible to be fluent in each one. It is definately possible to be a speech therapist in a language that is not your own - although it is definately more challenging. We work with interpreters. Also, many patients are bilingual and their languages may be impaired in different ways (eg a bilingual stroke patient may have better skills in their second language or differential impairment in each language). I have treated patients in their second language (English) and seen vast imporvement in their first. This improvement in the untrained language is documented in the literature. Speech therapy is allied medical profession...it is...http://www.englishforums.com/English/SpeechAndLanguageTherapy/cklnw/post.htm#257875Sat, 21 Mar 2009 16:36:55 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:257875Englishuser36http://www.englishforums.com/English/SpeechAndLanguageTherapy/cklnw/post.htm#257875http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments7-257875.xmlAnonymous wrote: Do either of you know if it is possible to be a speech therapist in a language that is not your mother tongue? Or is it possible to be a bilingual speech therapist? Very few things are impossible in this world. Indeed, if you have studied speech-language pathology in a English, you can work with English-speaking clients. The same is true for other languages, too, I should think. It doesn't matter if you speak a language natively or not, you only need to be qualified.http://www.englishforums.com/English/SpeechAndLanguageTherapy/cklnw/post.htm#251070Sat, 21 Mar 2009 16:36:55 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:251070Anonymous37http://www.englishforums.com/English/SpeechAndLanguageTherapy/cklnw/post.htm#251070http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments7-251070.xmlThere are many books for speech therapy written in English.

Or is it possible to be a bilingual speech therapist? And sorry Naima, I don't know of any books but I think listening to the radio and watching t.v. and comparing your pronunciation to that of a native speaker's can be very helpful ways of learning English. If I come across any books however, I'll let you know.
