the work of God

"Сам Бог здесь, и Он ожидает наш ответ на Его присутствие" А. Тозер

Переделываю жизнь.
Только Божьей силой.

Слово Божье оставленное на земле для нас - Библия - даёт силы. Дух Святого и Суверенного Бога, живущий во мне, производит Свою чудесную работу, преобразуя меня в образ Христа. И это чистое чудо!

Богу вечному единому хвала!

God is awesome...

Bilingual education

"Сам Бог здесь, и Он ожидает наш ответ на Его присутствие" А. Тозер

my topicEnglish is not my native language, so coming to America I became bilingual. To stay bilingual, an immigrant must hold on to their native tongue, especially children coming to live in another country. I believe that it is very important to hold on to one’s heritage even in a different country. Having multiple perspectives and traditions broadens one’s world view and allows being flexible, considerate and more understandable of others. This is especially true in such a diverse country as the United States of America.
The career of my pursuit is education and being bilingual myself I am interested in educating others like me and helping them to acquire English as well as keep their mother tongue alive within them. I understand the challenges and benefits of both. Bilingualism and bilingual education is a very personal and exciting topic for me, that is why I chose to do my research summary on it.
I am very much interested in finding out more about language immersion programs and ELL programs. I eventually want to teach ELL and/or Russian and it would be great to know what programs for languages exist and how they work. I have heard about language immersion programs and want to learn more about those and also just about the way of educating bilingual children.
Berk, Laura E. Development through the Lifespan. 4th ed. Ch. 9, p 317-318.
Sometimes children learn more than two languages growing up. About 6 million children in the U.S. speak a language other than English at home. In Canada, the non French or English speaking children are almost 700, 000 in number.
One can become bilingual by learning two languages at the same time in childhood, or by learning the second language after the native. There is a sensitive period for learning a second language. It takes longer to become fluent if you learn another language later on in school. Bilingualism enhances ones learning abilities, and development.
Canada promotes bilingualism with language immersion programs in schools. Language immersion is when students are taught in a language that is not their native language for several years. Children become proficient in both languages and are doing as well as the mainstream students academically. About 7 % of Canadian elementary schools are immersion programs, and the funding is increasing.
On the other hand, the U.S. is reluctant to incorporate language immersion programs into school. There are opposing viewpoints on how to educate minority students that do not know English well. Semilingualism is when children know more than one language, but both are underdeveloped. It is believed to contribute to failing and dropping out rates in low-SES ethnic minority students.
The opinion of America is that English is the only official language and school instruction should be English-only. Studies show that when minority students are taught in both English and their native language, it is more involving and easier to learn English for such children. On the other hand, if children do not fully understand the language they are taught in, they are not interested, become frustrated and withdraw.
There is a difference in how Canada and the U.S. perceive language immersion programs. Canada has two official languages; the U.S. has one official language and minority languages. This leads to a difference in the approach of utilizing immersion programs in the U.S. English needs to be taught alongside valuing the native language of American non-English speaking children.
