"Education for Bilingualism in Brazil: From Foreign Language Instruction to Bilingual Education" is the topic of the new episode of the Bett Connection with Vanessa Tenório, Master of Education from the University of Bath, who holds a degree in neuroscience and behavior from PUCRS and a degree in marketing from ESPM. In addition to being an international speaker, writer, and school administrator, she is a co-founder of the Systemic Bilingual, the country's first bilingual education methodology.

In an interview with Bett Brasil, the expert provides context on the current landscape of this topic in Brazil, its progress and prospects, as well as the role of educators in the teaching process and the benefits for students’ development. “For bilingual education to be of high quality, one factor is paramount: the teacher. The teacher is at the heart of this process,” says Vanessa.

She also discusses her expectations for the Bett Brasil Conference, where she will be one of the speakers on the topic “Education for Bilingualism in Brazil: From Foreign Language Instruction to Bilingual Education.” Check out the event schedule and register here.
