Document Summary
Culture: is a system of attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that constitute a distinctive way of life for a group of people. Majority of children around the world are bilingual. Students who speak both languages fluently have a cognitive advantage. They can express concepts and ideas in many different ways. Unbalanced bilingualism: still learning english, or have lost some of their old language. Ell or lel: these students tend to present issues for teachers. This means both languages are supported and developed. Students may learn english, but also their ability to speak their native language. Children feel a lot of pressure to learn english. By the time many of these children become adults they speak and write. Language loss limits the student"s ability to learn english. Having a large vocabulary in the first language makes it easier for the student to learn vocabulary in a second language. With two languages to work with parents can stay in the loop more easily.
