Why Should You Consider Chinese Immersion for your Student?
The benefits of dual language immersion are many! Here are a few of the biggest research-based reasons:
- Second language acquisition. Your child can learn to listen, speak, read, and write in Chinese. This is a highly relevant language in our economy today.
- Better scores on standardized high stakes testing.
- Greater cognitive ability: Immersion students demonstrate greater cognitive flexibility, increased attention control, better memory, and superior problem-solving skills, as well as a deeper understanding of their primary language.
- Cultural Competency: Immersion students are more aware of and generally show more positive attitudes towards other cultures and people.
- Long-Term Benefits: Immersion students are better prepared for the global community and job markets where 21st century skills are an asset.
- Bridge Program: Students who continue with Chinese in Secondary Schools can join the DLI pathway below towards an Associate Degree before leaving high school! This can save thousands of dollars in education costs for college education. See the model below.
