First of all, bilingual education is a very popular form of early language education in recent years.
It is of great help for children's language development to expose them to English and express their ideas in both English and Chinese. Practice has proved that the best time for children to learn a foreign language is before the age of 3. Parents and teachers provide an environment for children to learn a foreign language well during this period, which is of great help to children's intellectual development and expression ability.
Second, prevent nerve aging and dementia.
This is a very long-term benefit. Researchers have found that people who use two languages for a long time are more likely to develop age-related dementia. Perhaps it is because bilingual learning mentioned above can change the structure of the human brain. In the study of Canadian Alzheimer's disease, the researchers chose two bilingual and monolingual groups with similar cognitive tests and daily behaviors. But when the researchers analyzed the brain conditions of the two groups, they found that the brains of bilingual patients were 5-7 years earlier than those of other groups, which proved that the brains of adults who can speak two languages are more developed. Although he was hurt more.
Third, the cognitive ability is stronger.
Learning to be bilingual or multilingual can exercise children's thinking, which can continuously enhance the cognitive ability of others. Researchers have found that bilinguals are better at solving intellectual problems than monolinguals. He asked bilingual children and word children to put the blue circle in the blue square box and the red square in the red round box. This task has been accomplished very well. But then he asked the children not to classify by color. Bilingual children are much faster than word children when sorting by shape. The results show that children who learn two languages from an early age can show higher IQ. First, the two language systems are more conducive to children's concept of things. Secondly, bilingual children need to switch between two languages at any time according to different contexts in order to find the best expression, thus improving the flexibility of the brain and contributing to the development of abstract thinking.
