A con to these programs is that they are expensive and not all schools can afford to implement them.]]> 2020-04-28 22:31:04 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/537688354 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/537915931 A pro to a bilingual education program is that students are given the opportunity to develop literacy and academic skills in two languages. Students also have an academic advantage that can be used in order to apply for competitive jobs in the future.]]> 2020-04-29 01:46:49 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/537915931 mballard61 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/538128597 One benefit of a bilingual education program is that students are provided an opportunity to expand their knowledge of diversity while learning a skill that will be tremendously useful in their future. Learning in multiple languages will give students the opportunity to connect with more members of their community linguistically and possibly use these skills in their future workplace.]]> 2020-04-29 05:05:17 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/538128597 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/538305341 The good thing to a bilingual program is that it fully benefits the students. They learn a new skill that will not only help them as a child but especially when they are adults. The main and common benefit is that when these students are older they will have more opportunities. They will be able to communicate with more people and have more doors opened to them.]]> 2020-04-29 07:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/538305341 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/540082774 Bilingual education is beneficial to students in many ways. One powerful benefit is that dual language programs empower students. When we, as an education system, honor and respect the cultures and languages of our students we are really stating that we value these aspects of them. Students pick up on these responses to them, and can end up feeling a sense of pride about who they are and where they come from.]]> 2020-04-29 18:43:30 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/540082774 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/540266371 Bilingual education benifits students in many ways. Mainly, it gives the students the confidence they need to succeed. When we, as teachers, give our students the tools they need, their confidence goes through the roof. This confidence boost makes them want to learn and succeed more. Bilingual education makes learning more enticing to the students, making them come back for more. ]]> 2020-04-29 20:07:29 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/540266371 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/540478440 A bilingual program would benefit the students, the educators, and the parents. For instance, a bilingual teacher will have the opportunity to establish an effective relationship due to not having a language barrier. Clear and concise communication will allow the student to flourish in school.]]> 2020-04-29 22:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/540478440 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/540800314 A bilingual education program is very beneficial for students. This gives students the opportunity to succeed learning new things. It helps students feel confidant and proud, but it also helps students learn different cultures and languages. Bilingual students can also benefit from this in the future for a successful career. A con about a bilingual education program is that students can feel discouraged when things get hard, but as teachers we need to be there to encourage and help our students succeed. ]]> 2020-04-30 03:00:14 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/540800314 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/544426425 A pro is that students have a chance to be proficient in two languages. A con is that becoming proficient in two languages at the same time can be a difficult task and it takes well qualified teachers and programs to be successful. Finding qualified teachers can be difficult. ]]> 2020-05-01 16:31:37 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/544426425 maripazbarraza98 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/544819678 Pro: Students can learn a new language which can later broaden their academic interests as they get older. A second language can help students access more academic and professional opportunities.
Con: Everyone has a different way of learning and such programs would require on going practice and professional training until they become fluent. In other words, it can become expensive and not as accessible to a larger population.]]> 2020-05-01 20:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/544819678 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/544912985 Pros of Bilingual Education are that students at a young age learn a new and second language easier, and it increases their communication skills. They are able to learn subjects in both languages, so it allows for students to learn things more efficiently. For example, if students aren't able to grasp a Reading concept in English, they might be able to understand it in Spanish or vice versa. Cons of bilingual education are that it can be inconsistent if students aren't practicing second language everyday, which leads to students losing their capabilities and skills to learn a second language. ]]> 2020-05-01 21:42:22 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/544912985 ashlidiaz15 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/545052078 Bilingual education programs are beneficial and show that the language of others is valued and empowers others to value their own language]]> 2020-05-02 01:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/545052078 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/546037367 In my opinion, I believe that the pros outweigh the cons when it comes to bilingual education. A pro of bilingual education is that students are able to learn two languages at the same, which increases their opportunity of being successful in the future. Bilingual education also helps students better understand another culture, that helps them appreciate their culture and others. A con about bilingual education is that the program could be expensive and not accessible to the population. It can also be difficult to find teachers and even subs that are qualified for the program. ]]> 2020-05-02 21:07:26 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/546037367 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/546138271 Bilingual programs, such as the Dual Immersion program at Voorhies, really helps students in the long run. I believe incorporating a student's native language and adding a second one is not only useful but empowering. A pro is that a student does not need lose any sense of their culture through the language they speak if both languages are being paid attention to. A con would be that the mastery of both languages requires more time. Students might not be as proficient in one particular language if their time is spent cut in half for another language. ]]> 2020-05-03 00:00:22 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/546138271 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/546298552 There are many pros to bilingual education. Pros such as it keeps their mind active, helps students connect what they learned in the past with recent information, and it will help them in their future. During our time in the EDTE 4100 class, we learned that it helps students to connect the information they learned with the information they are currently learning. The students at Voorhies also expressed how that has helped them learn their new language.
I honestly do not see any cons to having students in bilingual education programs. There are some people that say it will hinder student's English learning growth, but many studies have proved that it helps them learn the language better. I am an advocate for students to learn a second language. ]]> 2020-05-03 06:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/546298552 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/548065585 A pro to a bilingual education program is that it expands the culture in a school so kids can learn about other kids culture and upbringing as well as expose them to things they would not have seen otherwise. The con is that the bilingual education can be one sided and hard for some kids who only speak one language and they are required to speak a whole other language to be successful and are having a hard time with it. ]]> 2020-05-04 03:46:55 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/548065585 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/548093769 There are many pros to a bilingual education. One pro being that it opens up kids to more opportunities in the future for instance being more likely to be hired in the work force because they know more then one language, so now they are able to help twice as many people.

It can also be hard for some students, but every thing can get hard for students at some point and overcoming that can be good. I think there are definitely more pros then cons to bilingual education.]]> 2020-05-04 05:29:10 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/548166696 evasquez241 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/548184578 A pro to bilingual education includes the opportunity to expand knowledge beyond the English language. It will expand children's knowledge and although it would be difficult at first the student will learn to adapt and learn in a stressing setting or time. It will also benefit them in the future and make them qualified candidates for future jobs. ]]> 2020-05-04 05:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/548184578 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/550646678 Being bilingual not only challenges students to learn a second language but it provides the child with future opportunities. Being able to speak and understand two languages can create new opportunities for them in the modern workforce. For example, if you work as a CO and you pass the bilingual test you automatically earn more money in every paycheck than someone who doesn't have a bilingual background. However, its not just about the money but about the opportunities and how much you can provide to your job just for being bilingual and being able to reach out to more people.]]> 2020-05-04 22:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/550646678 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/553399255 A pro to Dual Language Immersion 50:50 is that the students learn two languages at an extensive depth. The only downside is that there may not be  enough time in the class day for both languages.]]> 2020-05-05 22:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/553399255 https://padlet.com/casallase/pkixoklt7a7xxvw8/wish/561083423 Their are many positives things about a bilingual education program.
