Improve language ability
Through bilingual teaching, students can contact and use languages in two language environments, and have more opportunities to practice and use different languages. This will help them improve their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills and express themselves more fluently.
Enhance language awareness
Bilingual education enables students to have a deeper understanding of language structure, grammar and vocabulary. They learn to compare and contrast two languages, thus improving their sensitivity and awareness of language.
Cultivate cross-cultural awareness
By learning two languages, students will also be exposed to different cultural backgrounds and values. This will help to cultivate their cross-cultural awareness and understanding and make them more inclusive and open.
Improve cognitive ability
Bilingual education can promote students' cognitive development, including attention, thinking flexibility and problem-solving ability. Learning two languages requires adjusting and switching different language systems, which has a positive impact on brain development and cognitive ability.
The quality of teaching is very important.
The effect of bilingual teaching may be different due to individual differences and teaching quality. Teachers' professional level, teaching resources and school support play an important role in bilingual teaching. Therefore, it is very important to ensure the quality and effective implementation of bilingual education.
