"bilingualism is an experience that shapes our brain for a lifetime''. This quote definitely describes what bilingualism means for me, we are constantly stuying and practicing because this process never ends. Also, this article describes a dual- lingual education where both native and second language learners are exposed to subject content to acquire the language. This is definitely my favorite method to teach and acquire a second language inasmuch as while we are learning the language components implicitely, we are receiving a meaningful input which is the content. This increases students' motivation as the topics are of their interests and likes.

An interesting article that does a good job at selling bilingualism to the public. Not only does it mention the advantages that any bilingual user can acknowledge, but also provides interesting information regarding the history of bilingual education and modern challenges.

More people of all ages and backgrounds are learning languages today. In fact more than half of the world’s population is bilingual or multilingual because of their families, their nationalities, their likes, their jobs, and much more reasons. Being a bilingual person provides brain potential benefits that help us to improve our congitive and social skills. One of them is the attention since people make their brain process the information in different language; they are attentive at what they are saying. The emphaty is other aspect developed since people look to interact with others who has knowledge about their second language in order to improve it through the social aspect; taking into account this, diversity and integration are developed at the same time. If people learn another language, they going to be constantly searching information which means that their reading skill is going to improve, as well as their school performance and engagement. Their brain is going to be protected against cognitive decline and dementia. Being bilingual and/or multilingual is healthy for your brain.

For the world language classroom, consider blending favorite old apps (like the Evernote suite) with Word Reference and apps specifically designed for the language being studied.

There are so many more amazing apps to add to this list: Chatterpix, Padlet, Nearpod, Periscope, Thinglink, Kahoot!, Duolingo, and more. I would also use a couple different apps instead of the ones listed: Schoology instead of Edmodo, Notability instead of Evernote, etc. To read more about creativity and productivity in the WL classroom, please read my blog at http://hablamostechnology.blogspot.com

Unlike the past we don’t have to read through piles of books in a library or take expensive courses to learn languages. Thanks to the internet.

These five applications are an easy way to spread foreign languages. This causes a diffusion which will make the language more popular and make it less possible for the language to become extinct.

This article connects to what we're talking about in class by showing how people can learn different languages and how easy it is for people to learn them. My opinion on this is that these apps offer many opportunities to all different kinds of people.

It's no secret that learning a new language is a good thing. It's also pretty well-known that learning a language as an adult is quite challenging. While difficult, learning a new language is incredibly rewarding, and it affects your brain in some pretty major ways. Have you ever wondered exactly how it change your brain?…
