Benefits of Being Bilingual

How can bilingualism help students? 

Should parents choose bilingual education? 

What kind of education method can keep up with the pace of changing times?  

Some parents want their children to be fluent in both Chinese and English, and to appreciate the essence of Chinese and Western cultures. However, in many cases, children's desire to explore knowledge exceeds what traditional education can offer them; it is also difficult for international schools to teach Chinese language and culture. At this time, bilingual education has become a choice for many parents. 

Studies have shown that the ability to speak two or more languages builds mental flexibility, strength and resilience. In a bilingual program, your child’s brain function will improve as the mind is challenged to recognize, find meaning and communicate in multiple languages. They will learn to perform better in tasks that call for creative thinking, pattern recognition and problem solving. Your child will also develop greater linguistic awareness and an advanced understanding of their native language. 

At Huamei, we are committed to cultivating students’ bilingual abilities with rich knowledge and skills rooted in Chinese tradition and culture. Our bilingual teaching provides students with an immersive bilingual learning environment by covering the national curriculum, incorporating elements of international education, and combining traditional and international teaching methods. The bilingual track implements a dual homeroom teacher method, where Chinese teachers and foreign teachers cooperate in preparing lessons and teaching collaboratively. Through bilingual school, students deeply cultivate their native language and culture, become proficient in world languages, and become lifelong learners with a global perspective. 

Based on 25 years of research on brain science by the world's top scientists, we firmly believe that students must experience different setbacks and challenges during their studies in order to finally develop resilience and fully cope with future studies and life. In math classes, for example, teachers avoid repetitive practice questions and students learn the knowledge thoroughly through classroom activities and group discussions.
