Post 9 part A
I believe that the best way to teach a foreign language is bilingual education because it is the most natural way to learn a language. Many people grow up in houses that speak a language other than English and they are very fluent in both. The only set back is that a lot of times those kids don't know the grammar rules of the language spoken in the home. I feel that if schools start teaching language at an earlier age, they will learn the simple rules that are missing from their home environment. The reason other countries are better with languages is because they start their education sooner.

Bilingual education sounds as if it would be highly effective. I have noticed that bilingual people sometimes have trouble with the grammar of one of their languages, and I think you are right that basing the bilingual education in schools at a young age would help them learn these rules.
ReplyDeleteI agree that teaching it at a younger age with increase their ability to speak it, especially the grammar rules because those are important. It's not just about the slang but the grammar can be used in the language other than the home.
