Dr. Schwarzer was born in Buenos Aires,
Argentina. He immigrated to Israel in 1982 and to the
USA in 1999. David married his wife Taly in 1986.
Together they have three multilingual children: Noa,
Ariel and Tamar.
David is fluent in Spanish, Hebrew and English.
Dr. Schwarzer is
intrigued by the possibility of dissolving artificial
boundaries between related fields (such as early
childhood, emergent literacy development, ESL, bilingual
and foreign language education) in the learning,
teaching and researching of emergent literacy
development in bilingual and multilingual settings using a holistic and socio-cultural philosophical
perspective that emphasizes the importance of the
learning and teaching contexts as well as the creation
of a community of learners is crucial to my scholarship.
