Real Bilingualism

Bilingual Education

At Maple Bear, students become real bilingual, able to navigate, comfortably and naturally, in environments where both English and Portuguese are used. In the early years of the early childhood education, students experience total immersion in the English language. From the Intermediate Kindergarten, the last year of Early Childhood Education, students also receive stimuli in Portuguese, and literacy happens in both languages ??simultaneously. They are encouraged to share information, compare ideas, interpret languages, develop critical thinking and investigate the alphabetic writing system in both languages. In elementary school, half of the class are offered in Portuguese and half in English.

Bilingual Brain Benefits

Multiculturalism

Learning in English means learning, differentiating and respecting countless cultures. Real bilingual children are exposed to more than one culture, which expands the possibilities of interpreting the world, enhances critical thinking and global vision. At Maple Bear Marília we celebrate commemorative dates from Brazil, Canada and other countries.

Language

When we think, we use language. A child's oral ability is highly related to the number of words the child can produce and a bilingual child uses, on average, more than twice as many words as a monolingual child of the same age. Learning to speak, read and write in two languages ??is faster, more enjoyable, and more importantly, it generates a growing sense of self-esteem and identity.

Opportunities

Bilingual students have the necessary skills to live, study, work and be happy anywhere in the world. Thus, increased academic and professional opportunities in Brazil and abroad. In addition, they are able to learn other languages easily.

Cognitive Functions

Numerous studies have confirmed that being bilingual really makes a person smarter, as it has a profound effect on the brain, improving cognitive functions such as concentration, planning, problem solving and improving memory.

CÉREBRO MAIS FORTE

Há consenso nas ciências que o cérebro bilíngue é mais forte, pois faz mais conexões e se exercita mais durante a maior fase de crescimento do órgão e reduz as podas neuronais. Como exemplo, a probabilidade de doenças degenerativas – como Alzheimer – afetar pessoas bilíngues é significativamente menor que em pessoas monolíngues.

LETRAMENTO

Crianças bilíngues aprendem a ler mais rápido e melhor se comparado às crianças monolíngues. As estratégias utilizadas para decifrar os códigos de um idioma ajudam as descobertas no outro idioma. Além disso, no passado, havia preocupações que ensinar duas línguas ao mesmo tempo poderia confundir uma criança, felizmente, pesquisas indicam exatamente o contrário.

Bilingual Excellence

Since its foundation in 1867, Canada has been constituted as a nation based on respect for differences and with recognition for both languages: French and English. But it was in the late 1960s that Canada, through the Languages ??Act, one of the pillars of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau’s government and the work of the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism, established bilingualism as crucial and determinant for inclusion and respect for the rights of all citizens of the country. This movement marked the beginning of a long history of research and dedication to the development of a truly bilingual educational system, capable of developing citizens not only fluent in a second language, but also possessing the culture of two native languages.
