For this project I studied the benefits of teaching two languages
in American K-12 schools, or as it is called “Dual Language.”
This is a an important issue because as the world connects
more and more, we have to communicate with many people, and I thought it was
odd that while many students from other countries had more than one language,
growing up in the United States you pretty much just learn English – and maybe a foreign
language as an elective.
This project presents my findings and hopefully acts as a
guide for you to learn more about this topic. First, here is a video I made
that briefly summarizes the issue and my thoughts on the topic. I have also
provided some vocabulary words I came across that I think are important to
understanding this topic. Here I provide summaries on two readings I’ve done on
this topic, with links to the original articles. Finally, this is my formal argument
where I detail my stance on the issues.
I hope you enjoy learning about this topic because I sure
have. Please feel free to post a comment and let me know what you think –
either about your reaction to my project or to engage an idea you found
interesting.
Thank you!
