    Summary Of Bilingual Education By Peter Temes

    Peter Temes article appears to have a great deal of bias present. As the piece progresses, the bias falls away in favor of providing some interesting commentary on what bilingual education is, and why it should remain a part of the American education system. Temes brings in items that could be connected to the multiculturalism debate and he claims bilingual education “doesn’t work because it’s just a bad idea, supported only [by] ethnic blocks” (Temes 346). Temes even manages to go a step further and connects the “ethnic blocks” to a demand that has been created “for Spanish-speaking teachers and education workers” only (Temes 346). He does not elaborate about the need for teachers to be multilingual; however, he claims “that good bilingual…

    The Influence Of Bilingual Education

    Rodriguez grew up in a Spanish speaking family thriving and eager to expand his education and vocabulary in the “loud, booming with confidence” English language. According to Rodriguez, bilingual educationists have strong disbelief in the idea that schools should be assimilated with bilingual education because the students lack “a degree of ‘individuality’” This sense of individuality is absent in public society because often your heritage sets you apart from most others around you.…

    Richard Rodriguez: A Bilingual Teacher

    Aside from the adjustment that she had to make when participating in extracurricular activities while maintaining her academic performance, there were a few things that she did when doing her work, that was different than the way we (mainstream American students) interacted with it. I will never forget her mini laptop looking translator! She used it a lot, especially in classes like biology and English, when a lot of the words that were being taught were not words frequently used amongst she and her peers. This translator helped her a lot because she was able to decode the meaning of words without having to constantly ask the people around her. She would type the word in English into the translator and in turn be given the definition of the…

    Bilingualism Richard Rodriguez Analysis

    Rodriguez argues that it is essential to speak the public language in order to connect with your public identity. Without having knowledge of the public language there is no possible way to know your public identity and who you are in the community. This argument is explained more in the essay “Their English voices prying loose, my ties to my other name,....” (22) As Rodriguez loosens his ties on his english after holding it in for so long he begins to become more comfortable with the public English speakers surrounding him.…

When he went to kindergarten he was expected to know more than what I remember was required before.…

    Babies Becoming Bilingual

    The reason that it is much easier for babies to become bilingual is because as the babies are still young they are learning more and more words. It is also much easier for babies to learn new languages because their parents speak to them slowly. Babies mainly know how to speak two languages because of their parents. Babies learn from them because the babies parents may talk to one another and at that time the baby listens to what they are…

    Being born and residing my entire life in the bordertown city of Laredo, Texas, most of my life has been spent surrounded by hispanic culture. Both of my parents come from hispanic roots, and were unable to fluently speak or understand English. Consequently, as a child, I was not taught nor was I able to practice how to become fluent in English anywhere other than at school.

    Racism In Bilingual Schools

    Going back to my first three years of elementary school I remember being placed in bilingual classrooms. This was a choice my parents made, because they always feared that my Spanish would be entirely replaced with English. As I got older, I began to speak more English at home instead of Spanish. This just made my parents frustrated with the fact that there were many different vocabulary words that they did not understand, especially when I spoke to them. When it came to doing homework, it was hard for me to receive any help when my parents didn’t 100 percent understand the language.…
