这是来自CAL:The Center for Applied Linguistics 组织的一份报告,较为清楚的说明了为什么,如何和什么时候让孩子学第二门语言。
原文:http://www.cal.org/resources/pubs/whyhowwhen_brochure.pdf




其中的一些数据我个人也是第一次看到,感到很震惊,


Students of foreign languages tend to score higher on standardized tests. Results from the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) show that students who had studied a foreign language for 4 or more years outscored other students on the verbal and math portions of the test (The College Board SAT, 2003).


学过4年或是以上外语的学生,在SAT I 的verbal and math部分比其他学生的考分高。


而且
A study by Horn and Kojaku (2001) shows that students who were in “rigorous” programs in high school, which included 3 years of foreign language study, were likely to earn better grades in college and less likely to drop out.

同时:
Learning another language can enhance knowledge of English structure and vocabulary (Curtain & Dahlberg, 2004).


什么年龄学习最佳,在
Is younger really better? 一段中有阐述。


这样的文章,在阐述观点是,都是提供研究数据来作为依据,后面的references 部分可以找到数据和研究来源。

    我们孩子的中文肯定远远好于英语。但在某些情况下,孩子对某些事物的第一反应是英语,中文反而要慢半拍。

    家长需要先自我学些啊!关键是如何适度的给孩子教导 而不起到反作用 就怕家长功利心太重 让孩子讨厌学第二语言了。 纠结年龄意义不大……

    不管怎样,做了怎比不做的好。就同一个体而言,12岁前学习比12岁后学效果肯定要好。

    我孩子是三岁前接触英语的,正在努力中让英语成为她的第二语言而不是外语。目前正在尝试让她学习第三种语言,已经过了三岁,只能是外语学习了,但也无可奈何了。

    看完这本书很久了,道行太浅,听大家说说,关键在于a second language(第二语言)和 a foreign language(外语)还是有区别的哈,教育不是简单的事,父母们要首先把自己武装起来,好父母不是天生的,父母也需要成长,我深深觉得教育孩子首先是父母要对自己进行教育,不过这并不意味着没有武装好之前我们就要坐在那里什么事都不做,至少我们知道从小可以给孩子念中文书吧……

    在国内,持少数民族语言的人学习汉语可以说得上是在学习第二语言。而母语是汉语的人学习英语根本不是在学 ...

    说得有道理,而且文中概念的使用十分清晰、准确。我感到这不是一个无关紧要的概念区分,实际上它非常有助于我们识别“在语言环境条件上”的关键差异和各自特性,否则就有可能带来“似是而非”的认识。

    但我同时也感到,【恰当地】引入动画、音频、绘本、包括亲子英语等等,对幼儿学“外语”或叫英语“启蒙”是一种有益的探索,我认可它在听说启蒙上的价值,会为今后外语的学习奠定较好的基础,但不会夸大它的成效。

    的确,双语人士大脑反应速度更快些。前两天看了篇文章,供大家参考。

    Speaking two languages can actually help offset some effects of aging on the brain, a new study has found.

    Researchers tested how long it took participants to switch from one cognitive task to another, something that's known to take longer for older adults, said lead researcher, Brian Gold, a neuroscientist at the University of Kentucky.

    "It has big implications these days because our population is aging more and more," Gold said. "Seniors are living longer, and that's a good thing, but it's only a good thing to the extent that their brains are healthy."

    Gold's team compared task-switching speeds for younger and older adults, knowing they would find slower speeds in the older population because of previous studies. However, they found that older adults who spoke two languages were able to switch mental gears faster than those who didn't.

    But don't go out and buy Rosetta Stone just yet. The study only looked at life-long bilinguals, defined in the study as people who had spoken a second language daily since they were at least 10 years old.

    First, Gold and his team asked 30 people, who were either bilingual or monolingual, to look at a series of colored shapes and respond with the name of each shape by pushing a button. Then, they presented the participants with a similar series of colored shapes and asked them to respond with what colors the shapes were by pushing a button. Finally, researchers presented participants with a series of colored shapes, but they mixed prompts for either a shape or a color to test participants' task-switching times.

    The bilingual people were able to respond faster to the shifting prompts.

    Researchers then gathered 80 more people for a second experiment: 20 young bilinguals, 20 young monolinguals, 20 old bilinguals, and 20 old monolinguals. This time, researchers used MRI scans to monitor brain activity during the same shape- and color-identifying tasks. Gold and his team found that bilingual people were not only able to switch tasks faster - they had different brain activity than their monolingual peers.

    "It allows a sort of window into how the brains of people who have different cognitive processing abilities and are processing the same stimuli in different ways," said Kristina Visscher, a neurobiologist at the University of Alabama School of Medicine who did not work on the study.

    Visscher called bilingualism a "beautiful natural experiment," because people grow up speaking two languages, and studies have shown that they reap certain cognitive benefits from switching between languages and determining which to respond with based on what's going on around them. The University of Kentucky researchers took it a step further by using brain imaging, which she said was "exciting."

    Gold said he grew up in Montreal, where he spoke French at school and English at home, prompting relatives to question whether his French language immersion would somehow hinder his ability to learn English.

    "Until very recently, learning a second language in childhood was thought of as dangerous," he said. "Actually, it's beneficial."

    我喜欢这类型的文章,可惜看不懂啊。爬楼看了几位同学的一些翻译,对比网络上两位美加的幼儿老师写的一些文章,有类似的表述。

    看来为了孩子将来看到这些文章就能看懂,还得加油让孩子多长进。{:soso_e113:}
