"Why being bilingual works wonders for your brain" - Guardian Article
Mind Map by Rachel
1) This piece gave a detailed overview of the benefits of speaking more than one language. According to the author, Research suggests we may be predisposed to speak more than one language and that doing so brings health benefits, such as delaying the onset of dementia. It touches upon the super languages, the brain of a multilingual person, and even a psycholinguistic approach.
2) For educators from early education through high school, this article supposed that there is a benefit to the instruction of more than one language and that students who speak more than one language have the ability to do better in school and test higher. This also shows that there are also learning applications for adults, that those who speak more than one language retain the capacities for learning longer, and well as stave off the developmentally detrimental effects of disease like Alzheimer's.
3) This resource had a good deal of research and obviously has a bias toward multilingual speakers, yet across the globe, being at least bilingual is normal! It is only in America that speaking more than one language is uncommon.
