American Bilingual Education

Bilingual Education involves teaching academic content in two languages, in a native and secondary language with varying amounts of each language used in accordance with the program model. Bilingual Education has been a great controversy in the United States on whether it should be taught or not. Bilingual Education has been around for some time since the settlement of the Polish settlers during colonization in the 17th century. Bilingual Education in schools is necessary for the understanding and convenience of students and staffs. With the settlement of the Polish settlers came the trouble of not being able to understand each other with the natives, that the colonial government decided to establish the first known Bilingual School in American

Learning different languages gives you the opportunity to be able to communicate with the different people around the world. Being Bilingual also strives you to having a great job opportunity and able to help society as a whole. Society might not know the importance of Bilingualism, but it gives the United States a better position in giving the opportunity of a secondary language.
Communication is a big part in Bilingual Education. Being able to communicate will help an individual express themselves without any help. In many cases, people who travel the world need the help of interpreters to go around and explore the place they are visiting. Also when applying for a job or talking to someone, unable to communicate makes it hard for opportunities.
Going back to Genesis 11: 1-9(Graves, Pg.315), communication played a vital role during those times. The Tower of Babel wasn't going to build on its own if it weren't for the Sumerian people. At that time everyone talked the same language which was easy to communicate fluidly. After God seen nothing would stop the Sumerian from building the tower and future constructions, he altered the language to many different ones.

On many occasions, there is an interpreter when someone doesn't know how to speak the native language of that certain region. For instance, when going to the doctor or in different occasions including court, interpreters are always there to help the individuals.
Bilingual Education can also strengthen the executive function of the brain. Gigi Luk, an associate professor at Harvard's Graduate School of Education stated that many researchers found "bilingualism as an experience that's hauled our brain for a lifetime." In other words being bilingual gives you the ability to deal with conflicting visual and verbal information.
Bilingualism has positive effects at both ends of the age spectrum: bilingual children as young as 7 months can better adjust to environmental changes, while bilingual seniors can experience a less cognitive decline. According to Laura Ann-Pettito, a cognitive neuroscientist and professor of psychology who studies the effects of language especially bilingualism on the brain of children, brain tissue in young brains is specialized for language acquisition. Young bilingual preschoolers have greater cognitive flexibility which means, when a child or young children are surrounded by the foreign language, the comprehension becomes a whole-brain
