Why is Bilingual Education Important
Bilingual Education is important to me because you will learn more things
and get to understand
the teacher. I am also in bilingual class now. It is
very helpful for me, before I thought in the bilingual
class all the
teachers and students are speaking their own language, but I was wrong. In
this school all
the teachers speak English to us in the class and if we don't
understand the teacher, then the teacher
will translate it for us in the class.
Only this way could we improve our English faster.
In the bilingual class you will not only improve your English, but also the
teacher will help you
improve your own language too. I am in the bilingual
Chinese; they help me improve my English and also
my own language. The teachers
want us to speak English in the class and the teachers will also teach us
in
English. When we find something we don’t understand, we just ask the teacher
than the teacher will
explain it to us until we know. If you don’t understand the
sentence, the teacher will translate to us,
to make us understand. The very
best thing is they also have Chinese class. In the Chinese class you will
learn more Chinese and the Chinese teacher will also help you with English,
they will give you some story
in Chinese language and tell you to translate
it into English. That is also a good way to learn English.
Some parent think that
bilingual class is not helpful for their kids, they think their kids will
not learn
anything in the bilingual education. They want their kids to be
in the regular class, they don’t think
about whether their children will understand
the class or not. In the regular class you couldn’t learn
anything, the
teachers will not explain that much detail and they will not translate to you if you
don’t
understand, you will need to find out by yourself. Eventually
you will fall behind, get a poor grade on
class exams and maybe fail the class.
The bilingual class is really important for those people who just immigrated
to this country. They
can't understand the teacher and learn nothing in the
school, but now most of the schools have bilingual
education so those people
will not worry about not understanding the teacher. They will learn much
more
faster then people who are in the regular class.
