What are the benefits of children learning bilingualism? This question can be answered from many different angles, but only from the perspective of children's physical and mental development, there are the following aspects.

1. Learning bilingualism contributes to the development of intelligence.

As early as 1960s, a Canadian study found that bilingual children scored higher in intelligence tests. The researchers used molecular analysis to process scores of many tests, and found that the thinking structure of bilingual children was more complex, while that of monolingual children was simpler. The possible explanation is that bilingual children often face the problem of coordination between bilinguals, which stimulates the high development of thinking ability.

Bilingual children can use abstract thinking very early, and soon understand that the names of things are arbitrary, and can distinguish which information is related to the problem and which information is not. For example, a test was conducted in the Bubble Children's Bilingual Class and Single Class in New Oriental. Children must be independent of the size of building blocks. Bilingual children can do it at the age of 4, and monolingual children can do it at the age of 5.

2. Learning bilingualism helps children to absorb two cultures.

Although language and culture cannot be equated, they are closely related. When children learn another language, they inadvertently learn the culture related to this language. When a child learns bilingualism, he has the opportunity to get in touch with different cultures, which can enrich his life experience and prepare for his future life in a pluralistic society.

3. Learning bilingualism helps to expand the range of children's friends.

Chinese is not only a tool for thinking, but also a tool for socializing. Monolingual children usually only communicate with children who speak the same language. With one more language, children will expand their communication scope and make more friends.

4. Children's bilingual education strategy

Using and cultivating children's sense of bilingualism is also the driving force for learning bilingualism. When they hear nouns and verbs in one language, they will ask how to say them in another language. In other words, in their minds, each name has two versions, and they are interested in the other version. Therefore, using and cultivating children's bilingual awareness can lay a good foundation for bilingual learning. This is the need to provide bilingual environment for children as soon as possible.
