CHOOSE A TEXT: The article I picked for this project is Teaching Multilingual Children By Virgina Collier. I picked this article because I am very passionate about this topic. I can see the benefits of teaching bilingual education. Being bilingual has been so beneficial in my career in so many ways. I also currently work in school that provides bilingual education to a population of mainly Spanish speaking students. I believe that the bilingual education offered at this school will greatly benefit our students. They will maintain literacy in their home language while learning to develop literacy in the English language.
WHO DO YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH? I would like to talk about this topic
to my older cousin who opposes to bilingual education. He had a son come from
Dominican Republic at the age of three and once he entered the school system,
my cousin refused bilingual education. He wanted his son placed in an all English
classroom. His son did learn English but as a result does not speak Spanish, he
understands some Spanish but does not speak it at all. He will not take advantage
of all the benefits of being bilingual which is so beneficial in so many ways.
WHAT FORMAT MIGHT WORK FOR YOU? I think the individual interview
would be the most beneficial way to discuss this topic because it will allow me to see
his point of view while trying to teach him the benefits of bilingual education.
