Why Bilingual Education?
When schools provide children quality education in their primary language, they give them two things: knowledge and literacy. The knowledge that children get through their first language helps make the English they hear and read more comprehensible. Literacy developed in the primary language transfers to the second language. The reason is simple: Because we learn to read by reading--that is, by making sense of what is on the page .it is easier to learn to read in a language we understand. Once we can read in one language, we can read in general.
well i just want to point out those who put their kids in those schools where they don't have their language in that case they struck up with other language which they understand hardly and they lost their self.
By the time they reach primary, children in Indian schools have been taught the basics of FOUR languages.
So is this a call for more arabic schools? What the point of the original post?
joe90 actually we were taught 4 languages right from primary school, guess you are right.
3 languages in 3 different scripts...
Even the children of other nationality in Indian schools learn 3 different languages of different scripts...
ASk the indian school students. they need to learn three languages.
Most schools have English in their curriculum? Dont they?
what i mean that we should take our kids in those schools where they got their education in their language and as well as in English
Its very important to learn more than one language... especially the language the world speaks... higher studies and specialty courses and its books are available mostly in English.
Its more the case in the field of PC hardware and software where the books become obsolete by the end of each year!!!
Research shows that children under 7 years can learn up to 4 languages simultaneously.
