What is a bilingual school?

The objectives of a bilingual school include preparing the learners for an increasingly connected world. For instance, being well-versed in reading and writing Mandarin is becoming a much-coveted skill among industries. The school helps provide the students with assets essential for moving forward in a rapidly changing world and future workplace environment. Linguistic skills are not limited to just reading and writing, it includes the understanding of the culture and effective communication skills. Schools offering a bilingual education have teachers who are proficient in using two languages to teach students and deliver the curriculum.

How does bilingual school work?

In a bilingual school, students are taught Mathematics and sciences in two languages instead of one. At bilingual schools, students who opt for the bilingual programme will learn both Mandarin and English. The course focuses on an inquiry-based framework, enabling children to get ready for a globally-connected world. How does it work ● Students of the bilingual programme have separate classes from the rest of their peers ● Teachers proficient in the two languages take classes for the different subjects ● It works towards building communication skills and cultural awareness

Is bilingual education Good or bad?

Yes, bilingual education is good for students. It helps students develop essential linguistic and communication skills in more than one language. More importantly, early bilingual education is of paramount importance as young children are better language learners. So, taking up a new language early on can help them become better professionals later in life. Having bilingual skills has become an important asset in the 21st century and is a highly sought-after competency in future workplaces. Moreover, it bolsters the cognitive development in children while improving the retention rate.

What is the main purpose of bilingual education?

The purpose of a bilingual curriculum is to help students understand the subtleties and nuances of more than one language along with the applications on how to apply it in real life situations. More importantly, it helps bolster cognitive skills and knowledge retention. Students gain understanding in learning the multiple aspects of the language such as personal, social, family, and disciplinary level. So, it leads to a constructive course towards bilingualism. Moreover, the program gives equal importance to both languages of the syllabus.

What is early bilingualism?

Being adept at two languages is becoming a core requirement among universities and progressive workplaces. Basically, early bilingualism means introducing the learners in Grade 1 to 5 (pre-puberty) to more than one language at a time. It is part of the curriculum and focuses on both the languages equally. Most candidates pick a second language as late as high school. However, early bilingual education has multiple positive consequences such as academic advantage, cognitive adaptability, cultural knowledge, real life applications, and collaboration.
