First of all, the bilingual ability will let people have a much higher chance of communicating with others more successfully. From this point of view, the school is regarded as the most effective and reasonable place to cultivate this attribute! Especially, when a person is still a student, he or she usually has the tendency to improve and progress in the right direction, as a matter of fact.]]> 2022-06-29 07:47:04 UTC https://padlet.com/shc054/stifyo1lly8hjx11/wish/2233216037 w1shao https://padlet.com/shc054/stifyo1lly8hjx11/wish/2233221996 Bilingual students normally have the advantage of learning a second language. ]]> 2022-06-29 07:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/shc054/stifyo1lly8hjx11/wish/2233221996 w1shao https://padlet.com/shc054/stifyo1lly8hjx11/wish/2233227504 In addition to have a much better capability of interacting and talking with people who speak different languages, there is another reason of why bilingual education would be considered important and thereby be valued by parents, school, and even Government. Learning a second language lets children and students know the process of how to develop perseverance and being diligent at all times despite the fact that there are a lot of obstacles which might hinder the growth and progress is difficult and complicated. By doing so, students will have accomplishment afterwards which is rewarding and positive. ]]> 2022-06-29 08:05:10 UTC https://padlet.com/shc054/stifyo1lly8hjx11/wish/2233227504 w1shao https://padlet.com/shc054/stifyo1lly8hjx11/wish/2233236461 The argument of whether the bilingual education and system is proper for students]]> 2022-06-29 08:20:03 UTC https://padlet.com/shc054/stifyo1lly8hjx11/wish/2233236461 w1shao https://padlet.com/shc054/stifyo1lly8hjx11/wish/2233241077 Last but not least, now we will discuss about the third reason of how come bilingual education has started to rise! With the comprehension of seeing and understanding the communication and confidence training are both important, we will also have to look at it from a different angle. Globalization has made the world become more and more convenient, and as a result, the opportunities and scenes of approaching foreigners and doing businesses with them, for example, have increased a lot of degree nowadays. This is a reason of why bilingual education is so indispensable and common, particularly at school. When students begin to learn different languages, they are able to get used to the atmosphere and environment of the bilingualism more quickly and effectively! ]]> 2022-06-29 08:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/shc054/stifyo1lly8hjx11/wish/2233241077 w1shao https://padlet.com/shc054/stifyo1lly8hjx11/wish/2233243068 The analysis and discussion of the relationship and connection between bilingualism and globalization.]]> 2022-06-29 08:30:40 UTC https://padlet.com/shc054/stifyo1lly8hjx11/wish/2233243068 w1shao https://padlet.com/shc054/stifyo1lly8hjx11/wish/2233247601 First, there is a notable and significant of bilingualism. The goal of bilingualism is to hopefully let everyone can at least be familiar with two languages. However, there are some concerns and issues as well on the surface. For a starter, some nations or people tend to value their own cultures and language a lot. In this case, learning and accepting another foreign language could be a challenge that they will have to deal with and face unwillingly. For example, the English-speaking countries tend to regard English as the most important language in the world. As a consequence, they might have the hesitation while learning another language. They may start to question the motivation of why they have to learn another language at all. This is the first argument of bilingualism. ]]> 2022-06-29 08:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/shc054/stifyo1lly8hjx11/wish/2233247601 w1shao https://padlet.com/shc054/stifyo1lly8hjx11/wish/2233249881 While on the other hand, here is another argument for bilingualism system and culture. The difficulty of how to choose a second language is a big problem among a lot of students nowadays. Besides English, honestly, there are so many languages. As a result, how to choose it and where to start? This has never been an easy issue no matter when and where. Thus, the argument of how to select is debatable and it needs a lot of time and practices to go through. ]]> 2022-06-29 08:41:32 UTC https://padlet.com/shc054/stifyo1lly8hjx11/wish/2233249881 w1shao https://padlet.com/shc054/stifyo1lly8hjx11/wish/2233252331 Furthermore, how to preserve the traditional language is also important and essential to contemplate on. While it is good to accept another language in general, we also have to think about supporting and maintaining our original languages at the same time so that we can be ourselves. The argument is that how to reach the goal of simultaneously keep learning new languages while keep conserving the primary languages. ]]> 2022-06-29 08:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/shc054/stifyo1lly8hjx11/wish/2233252331 mim006 https://padlet.com/shc054/stifyo1lly8hjx11/wish/2233268663 Ralph Yarborough was a democratic Texas senator who served on the US Senate from 1957 to 1971.
