Bilingualism: A Holistic Perspective

Bilingual Educational Policy

University professors and bilingual teachers must consider more than the linguistic aspect of bilingualism

Influence of their socio-psycholinguistic development

How linguistic factors interact in their lifes

Social and cultural factors

Types of Bilinguals

Sequential

Subtema

Develop mastery or proficiency in one language before acquiring the second language

Simultaneous

Grow up learning two languages in their environment from infancy

Views:

Fractional

Describes bilinguals as being the equivalent of two monolinguals in one person

Develop parallel linguistic competence in both languages simultaneously.

Holistic

Integrates knowledge of and from both languages

The total of the two languages is greater than their sum because they interact with each other to increase the functionality of each.

Benefits of Bilingualism:

Communicative competence

Able to maintain family communication and
interaction across generations

Psychological

Increase self-esteem and the cohesion of
their families

Socio-Cultural

Bilingulas develop a bicultural worldview and identity

Cognitive Competence

Young bilingual children have greater semantic flexibility than their monolingual peers.
