Research Paper







This year for Senior Project, our research paper is coming up very soon. Last week, I started researching for my thesis which is that two languages better equips students for their future. After reading many articles, I found many interesting facts about knowing two languages. For example, when a person knows more than one language, they are better at taking cognitive, standardized assessments of knowledge.

Another important aspect about knowing two languages is how it effects how one sees the world. This has been substantiated in recent studies. For example, the word bridge in spanish is masculine, and femine in German.
Furthermore, in a research by "Tel Aviv", bilinguality protects children's brain against the effects of ageing. Other good effects of knowing two languages are strengthening of the brain, new perspectives and angles of thought, and new realms of intellect.
