Bilingual Education and Literacy: English as a Resource for Literacy in the Mother Tongue
)
The combination of early childhood education and bilingual education It provides children with a dual learning and development environment, enabling literacy not only in their native language but also in an additional language.
And that doesn't mean the child will face twice the difficulty: he or she will have no trouble mastering two languages at the same time in a learning-friendly environment that provides the right tools.
The area of the brain that processes the native language is no different from the part of the brain that learns a second language. As a result, children are able to connect the concepts they have learned in both languages to expand their vocabulary.
As a result, children can grasp grammatical and interpretive distinctions more easily and can use what they have learned from one language to help them learn the other.
But what are the challenges of this type of literacy? What are the best practices for fostering bilingual literacy? These and other questions will be answered in the e-book “Bilingual Education and Literacy—English as a Resource for Literacy in the Mother Tongue.”
