Bilingual education
Although some people think leading children mother tongue education is better than bilingual education. There are many advantages of bilingual education. If the children speak only one language, bilingual education can help children more easily understand the teaching content and also learn the second language. In fact, the research shows that person have bilingual or multilingual skill with ability to adjust environment. The children who are bilingual or multilingual have better cognitive development and have better languages when they was small, it is easy to learn how to solve the problem and easy to enhance oral skill and imagination. (Houston Chronicle) The other research shows that bilingual education can strengthen the executive function of the brain. Because bilingual students are able to use two languages at the same time, switching language; it develops skills for functions such as attention and memory. (Naja Ferjan Ramirez) It can help them remember and understand information in second language. Furthermore, bilingual education helps children realize different culture because culture is related to language. When children learn another language they will also learn the cultures behind the language. For example when I study in ESL, most of my classmate is from same country so when I can’t understand the teaching content, my classmate can use first language to help me understand. If children can understand the different culture background and language it can help them more easily to adjust to different environment even in the different country. So bilingual education is good for children learning and it is better than single language education.
