container theory of language
type: Concept
broader: languages and linguistics
definition: It is not uncommon for persons unfamiliar with linguistics to suggest that the brain and speech mechanisms of children probably function better when they are unencumbered by more than one language. In this view, it is assumed that to avoid confusion, developing one language at a time is preferable to using two or more languages concurrently, especially in school classrooms.
