Bilingual Q & A 1: Is it possible for children to learn bilingualism? What is a true bilingual?
Think about it: Why learn bilingualism? What is a true bilingual?
The advantage of learning bilingualism is that you can communicate with more people using language and text (we are currently discussing Chinese and English).
But there is a price to pay. Because everyone only has 24 hours. Children need play time very much.
"Children" divide the time of learning a language into two parts. Is it possible to reach native level in both languages? Is it possible?
Let’s discuss:
Learning bilingualism has advantages. In addition to being able to communicate with more people, it has a wider source of knowledge, increases one's tolerance, and even
It is also beneficial to find a job. However, bilinguals are reminded not to have a sense of superiority, because those who choose monolinguals may be short of time.
Have more resources to develop and learn other projects that you are good at to increase your own advantages.
Bilingual children need to spend a lot of time learning and practicing spoken and written language in two languages. Do they have the ability to learn both languages to the level of their native language? We think it is feasible. On the one hand, it depends on whether the learning methods of both languages are similar to the mother tongue to achieve the goal. On the other hand, we hope that both mother tongues can meet the standards of "we recognize".
The so-called mother tongue level is generally evaluated from four aspects: listening, speaking, reading and writing. If you can only listen and listen, you are not bilingual. If you take a standardized test, you can know your level through the test scores, or simply self-evaluate.
You can get an answer more or less. For example: 5 points/100 points is a perfect score. In these four aspects, a native speaker,
The "loose" standard is that each item must have at least 3.5 points/70 points to be considered qualified. Any language below 3.5 will not be recognized.
為雙語者。（兩個語言的組合分數，3.5+3.5/3.5+4/4+4⋯⋯⋯/5+5 等等的組合，才是
Bilinguals we accept)
Since children have to allocate their time learning Chinese to two languages, we should be reminded not to divide bilingual children into
Comparing any language with "monolingual" children is a bit unfair, but we must also avoid raising some children who are "semi lingual" in both languages/bilinguals. This will make the children not only Losing the advantage and becoming a disadvantage of not reaching the native level in any language is not worth the gain. It would be better to have a 4+2 combination where the child meets the standard in at least one language than to fail to meet the standard in both languages.
Note:
Listening, speaking, reading, typing and writing are now advocated. In other words, by typing Chinese instead of "writing", the purpose of "expressing and communicating with words" is also achieved. This statement is a matter of opinion, so I won’t argue here. Of course I support children learning to write, but I do not deny that practicing writing requires a lot of time. I personally accept the changes brought about by modern technology.
