Bilingual education: how does it contribute to the child's development? (parte IV)
Maintain children's attention and interest.
Teachers have the great challenge of keeping students interested and focused. In the case of students, the learning process becomes even more difficult, not only for that student but for the entire class, which needs to use practices that are motivating and attractive, since when students become disinterested, the process of Learning becomes even more difficult for the student.

How parents can participate.
There are tools that can be allied in that sense. An efficient possibility is to encourage learning with tasks associated with sound, image, movement, and colors. You can guide and encourage your child to look for technological sources of learning, encouraging him to make free translations of songs and movies that are to his liking, to attend with him to programs and films with subtitles in the language (to be able to learn and they are together), etc.
Learning with technology is quite efficient to promote greater focus and attention to students and many of these activities can be implemented even at home. It is important to keep in mind, however, that the production of students in the second language should not be evaluated in these cases.

Reconcile different skills
In any environment, we find people with varied abilities and difficulties. Working with this diversity in the classroom is what will make the student with greater difficulties close the school period with a positive balance in learning and, at the same time, take care that the student who has more facilities is not discouraged and loses interest.

How parents can participate
Children with more facilities should be continually stimulated so that they feel challenged and have more pleasure in learning at school. Children with more difficulties should also be stimulated, but with softer tasks, so that they are calmer and learn according to their level of knowledge. Parents can propose activities that bring their children closer to the reality of another language: go to restaurants with menus in the language they are learning or seek help from teachers who can help the student individually.

Continuous monitoring and supervision
With regard to children, the need for follow-up and supervision is greater. Novice students who do not possess the knowledge in the appropriate mother tongue may have more difficulty absorbing the writing of the other language.

How parents can participate
Supervising them continuously, to avoid erroneous memorizations and helping them to obtain better results in school. It is important to emphasize that bilingualism (literacy in two languages) does not offer risks for the acquisition of writing and reading in the mother tongue.

The participation of parents and the challenges of bilingual education.
The school is the main means of contact with various contents. It is with that that the students learn to learn. However, the role of parents is essential to complement the good work of schools, especially in regard to bilingual education. They have a primordial mitigating function since they can instigate a greater participation of their children in the classes, they can help to give continuity to what was done during the classes, they can stimulate their children, even more, they can help them solve their difficulties. and skills and opportunity, better performance.

Parents should remember that the best learning is based on strong foundations of stimulation and, although your child is daily in the school environment, no one else can know, understand their difficulties and help them than their parents. And it is in this way that the results in bilingual education become much better
When we work as a team and with a single goal!
