For instance, among executives, 100 percent in Hong Kong, 97 percent in Singapore, and 95 percent in Indonesia can negotiate in at least two languages. - Maria Baderje citiralaпре 9 годинаparents see knowledge of their heritage language as an important source of pride and self-esteem for their child. They are right! There’s a lot of research evidence that children do best in school—and best in life overall—when they have a strong sense of identity and of where they come from. Many researchers have concluded that immigrant groups to the United States who maintained their cultural heritage at home—for instance, some Chinese and Indian groups—also provided their children with the strength to face challenges, and sometimes inequalities, at school. In contrast, total assimilation or loss of cultural heritage can lead to less successful outcomes at school.

Building Friendships Across Language Lines
In a 1983 evaluation of a Spanish-English two-way immersion program, researchers Cazabon, Lambert, and Hall wanted to see if children formed social groups based on ethnicity or language. Children were asked questions about their best friends—who they ate lunch with, who they would invite home, who they would choose to play games with, and who they liked to sit next to. While younger children showed some preference for friends based on ethnicity or language, by the third grade, children were equally likely to have friends from different backgrounds. Linguistic or ethnic differences were no longer a factor! After some time in the two-way program, students had come to value friends as individuals rather than as members of any particular group. In other words, children learned the very important lesson in life that what matters most deep down is not what you look like or how you talk, but who you are.
