Hey Jena, is that a good or a bad surprised FOUR? @JenaiaMorane @rsehji #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Mar 25 @ 10:38 PM EDT

#inzpired Konban wa (good evening in Japanese) though in your neck of the woods it's probably ohiogozaimasu (good morning).

@JenaiaMorane @rsehji forgot to add selamat pagi #INZpirED

JKatzaman Mar 25 @ 10:39 PM EDT

Bilingual education is a challenge due to language differences, yet rewarding because of inherent knowledge of two cultures. #INZpirED

rsehji - Moderator Mar 25 @ 10:40 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane Good evening, Jena. Got your email and eager to share w/ my colleagues and PLN in NZ. I am sure #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Mar 25 @ 10:40 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 @rsehji #inzpired LOL I'm always amazed by people who've mastered more than 2. Two was hard enough 4 me :-) I am impressed.l

rsehji - Moderator Mar 25 @ 10:41 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 @JenaiaMorane I speak 5 and trying my best to learn 1 more for a long time now :( but can only handle few words atm #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Mar 25 @ 10:41 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 @rsehji #inzpired Shakes her head in awe. Think 2 languages=a must. I'd like to renew my third (French) & dive into Spanish.

rsehji - Moderator Mar 25 @ 10:42 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane @VipulaSharma1 pretty cool, Vips! @Ajarn_Adam did not know you could speak these many languages either #INZpirED

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Mar 25 @ 10:42 PM EDT

1/2 In the past bilingual learners were thought to be cognitively disadvantaged #INZpirED

VipulaSharma1 Mar 25 @ 10:43 PM EDT

@JKatzaman agree with you there, challenging for both Ts & Ss but ultimately cld have powerful impact on cognitive, affective self #inzpired

JenaiaMorane Mar 25 @ 10:43 PM EDT

@rsehji #inzpired TY Ritu! I just did a blog post about the importance of social-emotional skills in preparing kids to be successful adults

JenaiaMorane Mar 25 @ 10:43 PM EDT

@rsehji @VipulaSharma1 #inzpired Dang! I am feeling totally amazed.

Hello, Namaste🙏🏻 #INZpirED group

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Mar 25 @ 10:43 PM EDT

2/2 Now research suggests there is no difference or it is an advantage to be a bilingual learner #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Mar 25 @ 10:44 PM EDT

@Ajarn_Adam #inzpired Interesting. Now neuroscience is proving just the opposite.

rsehji - Moderator Mar 25 @ 10:44 PM EDT

True that. But feel it is more than bilingual these days with diverse culture mixes #multilingual #INZpirED https://t.co/wBHYkYpWco

JKatzaman Mar 25 @ 10:44 PM EDT

Our daughter was completely bilingual - Tagalog and English - without accents up to age 2. (1/2) #INZpirED

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Mar 25 @ 10:45 PM EDT

@rsehji @JenaiaMorane @VipulaSharma1 Passable conversational spoken Thai & basic reading & writing - plus a little Swahili #INZpirED :)

JenaiaMorane Mar 25 @ 10:45 PM EDT

@Ajarn_Adam #inzpired Has to do with brain's neuroplasticity. Our brain's are literally shaped by our experiences and training. So cool.

@1925MP Karibuni Minakshi! #INZpirED (Welcome in Swahili)

JenaiaMorane Mar 25 @ 10:46 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 @rsehji #inzpired TY Vipula. I regret losing my French when I moved 2 Japan. I was starting to write poetry en francais.

1925MP Mar 25 @ 10:47 PM EDT

Looking forward to learning a lot and feeling #INZpirED already @Ajarn_Adam

JKatzaman Mar 25 @ 10:47 PM EDT

(2/2) Then she untaught herself, refusing to speak in Tagalog. Soon she had no memory of it. #INZpirED

rsehji - Moderator Mar 25 @ 10:47 PM EDT

@Ajarn_Adam @JenaiaMorane @VipulaSharma1 impressive #INZpirED

VipulaSharma1 Mar 25 @ 10:47 PM EDT

@Ajarn_Adam @rsehji @JenaiaMorane this has to be one of my favourite quotes re language learning #INZpirED https://t.co/U3F1iTp277

@1925MP Hi Minakshi #INZPirED

VipulaSharma1 Mar 25 @ 10:50 PM EDT

Is anyone teaching within a bilingual system? Majority of my Ss are multilingual but we teach in English #INZpirED

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Mar 25 @ 10:50 PM EDT

Also bilingual learners may become more globally competitive & more globally competent citizens #INZpirED

VipulaSharma1 Mar 25 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane @Ajarn_Adam @rsehji thanks for sharing, will check it out later #inzpired

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Mar 25 @ 10:51 PM EDT

Lots of useful bilingual education resources here: https://t.co/A4HyMM3BAk #INZpirED

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Mar 25 @ 10:52 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 Yes, my Ss are all Thai but have the majority of their lessons in English #INZpirED

1925MP Mar 25 @ 10:52 PM EDT

Hello Ritu, #INZpirED by what I am reading and the wealth of knowledge that the group brings together, it is more of multilingualism @rsehji

JenaiaMorane Mar 25 @ 10:52 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 @Ajarn_Adam @rsehji #inzpired It is glorious :-)

VipulaSharma1 Mar 25 @ 10:52 PM EDT

@Ajarn_Adam good point, they come with so many skillsets and mindsets, resilient, empathetic and able to adapt to change #INZpirED

@SeanwelshBacc bore da Sean #INZpirED I went to Primary school in Cardiff and Cymraeg was compulsory. Really enjoyed it bt hv forgotten lots

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Mar 25 @ 10:58 PM EDT

@rsehji There are definitely 2 sides to the argument - let's think a little about possible drawbacks of bilingual ed then #INZpirED

JKatzaman Mar 25 @ 10:59 PM EDT

With bilingual students, ideally teachers should also be bilingual to help relate and keep up with side conversations. #INZpirED

rsehji - Moderator Mar 25 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane @VipulaSharma1 guess Island languages must have some similarity. Need to hear Hawaiian #INZpirED

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Mar 25 @ 11:00 PM EDT

I think a big concern in bilingual ed in some contexts is that it may exacerbate sociocultural divisions #INZpirED

leonie_hastings Mar 25 @ 11:00 PM EDT

#INZpirED. Hi all. I tch at a school with 80% Maori Ss so Te Reo & M culture are part of school. We do tch core subjects mainly in English

rsehji - Moderator Mar 25 @ 11:01 PM EDT

@JKatzaman To be successful, bilingual prog needs strong support from family & the community, not just Ts & SMT #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Mar 25 @ 11:01 PM EDT

@rsehji @VipulaSharma1 #INZpired Listen to this remarkable recording by one of Hawaii's greats, Kealihi Reichel: https://t.co/bBT6cHEdhY

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Mar 25 @ 11:01 PM EDT

@JKatzaman I try & follow my Ss convos in Thai but can't always keep up - can tell when they're not discussing their work though! #INZpirED

1925MP Mar 25 @ 11:02 PM EDT

Has both the sides, but the benefits weigh more @Ajarn_Adam @rsehji #INZpirED https://t.co/wU964L92oJ

VipulaSharma1 Mar 25 @ 11:02 PM EDT

@JKatzaman yes I'd agree with you there, the teacher would need to operate competently in the 2 languages too #inzpired

VipulaSharma1 Mar 25 @ 11:04 PM EDT

@1925MP @Ajarn_Adam @rsehji good points made here #INZpirED

rsehji - Moderator Mar 25 @ 11:04 PM EDT

@1925MP @Ajarn_Adam true that, benefits outweigh the negatives #INZpirED

SeanwelshBacc Mar 25 @ 11:04 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 as part of our inspection it's expected. But what is incidental? Mystery #INZpirED

I truly believe that the struggles vanish away when we see the success rate & inspires anyone to learn more #INZpirED @rsehji @Ajarn_Adam

VipulaSharma1 Mar 25 @ 11:06 PM EDT

@SeanwelshBacc do they mean that it should be used in context, conversationally? Do all your Ss speak Welsh fluently? #INZpirED

1925MP Mar 25 @ 11:08 PM EDT

SeanwelshBacc Mar 25 @ 11:10 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 they don't but it's tokenism. Govt led nonsense #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane Mar 25 @ 11:11 PM EDT

@leonie_hastings #INZpired Japan taught me how much language shapes the way a person thinks & approaches the world. Startlingly different!

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Mar 25 @ 11:11 PM EDT

@leonie_hastings Agreed, plus learning a language offers great insights into a culture #INZpirED

rsehji - Moderator Mar 25 @ 11:11 PM EDT

@leonie_hastings Aww, hope you feel better soon. Have you heard from your family in Belgium? Hope all is well. best wishes #INZpirED

@SeanwelshBacc not a good way to keep the language alive, they should be inspiring and motivating people to use it naturally #INZpirED

leonie_hastings Mar 25 @ 11:14 PM EDT

@rsehji #INZpirEd.Rang after attacks. They changed plans at last min & went to Brugge nt Brussels so were on diff train.2mrw go to Paris!?!

rsehji - Moderator Mar 25 @ 11:18 PM EDT

@Ajarn_Adam @leonie_hastings bilingual prog to be effective, 50%, and preferably more, must be taught in the native lang Comments? #INZpirED

SeanwelshBacc Mar 25 @ 11:18 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 yep. It's a long convo but it's bullshit here as you know. Money, tokenism etc, #INZpirED

#INZpirED. Have a great rest of Easter everyone. Hope you all have nice weather and family time

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Mar 25 @ 11:22 PM EDT

@rsehji @leonie_hastings The ideal would be Ss to have content in both L1 & L2 & build actual & subject literacy in both #INZpirED

VipulaSharma1 Mar 25 @ 11:25 PM EDT

@Ajarn_Adam @rsehji @leonie_hastings definitely the ideal but there lies the main challenge in this diverse L1 field of our Ss #INZpirED

rsehji - Moderator Mar 25 @ 11:26 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 same with me #INZpirED Teach in English & just use few words or short phrases at times.

rsehji - Moderator Mar 25 @ 11:27 PM EDT

@VipulaSharma1 wonder why Ss are hesitant and shy to speak in native language or identify w/ their culture? Peer pressure? #INZPirED

VipulaSharma1 Mar 25 @ 11:27 PM EDT

@rsehji @Ajarn_Adam it really does come down to using good #EAL strategies to support the language learning needs of all our Ss #INZpirED

Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Mar 25 @ 11:28 PM EDT

@rsehji @VipulaSharma1 Another potential drawback of bilingual ed - 1 language is privileged over another #INZpirED

VipulaSharma1 Mar 25 @ 11:28 PM EDT

@rsehji fear, shame, wanting to fit in and not stand out; we should be celebrating diversity and valuing all languages #INZpirED

1925MP Mar 25 @ 11:29 PM EDT

Depends on the classroom culture at times, if they are comfortable they are happy to teach their peers @rsehji @VipulaSharma1 #INZpirED
