The Benefits of Dual Language Learning
Academic Advantages
Numerous cognitive benefits are available for students who are learning a second language. Studies show that those that practice another language have more advanced executive function skills, resulting in improved impulse control, planning, and organization. Learning another language can also positively affect the learner’s mother language in terms of reading and writing. Second language learners score higher on standardized tests, regardless of age, race or gender. Bilinguals are better multi-taskers as the switching between languages activates the area of the brain that enables us to shift from one task to the next with ease.
