Bilingualism is good for learning
Research shows that children who speak more than one language are multiply advantaged over their monolingual playmates and yet among some parents and teachers there is a perception that growing up multilingual is a risk to educational development.
Aiming to dispel such misconceptions and champion the benefits of bilingualism are researchers Drs Dora Alexopoulou, Napoleon Katsos and Teresa Parodi of the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, founders of BIN-C and hosts of the ‘Bilingualism in schools’ workshop at the Festival of Ideas.
The Bilingualism Information Network in Cambridge (BIN-C) will host its third workshop at the University’s Festival of Ideas on 22 October.
