Could Bilingual Education Mold Kids’ Brains to Better Resist Distraction? By Samara Freemark and Stephen Smith, American RadioWorks For decades, psychologists cautioned against raising children bilingual. They warned parents and teachers that learning a second language as a child was bad for brain development. But recent studies have found exactly the opposite. Today the benefits of bilingualism are being put to the test in schools all across Utah. Arrowhead Elementary is just one of the more than 100 public schools in the state that have launched language immersion programs in the past five years. Supporters of immersion education argue that learning a second language is valuable preparation to participate in the global economy. The first-graders of Arrowhead Elementary in Santa Clara, Utah, are giggling. It’s a joke that could be made in any first-grade math class across the United States — except that here, in southern Utah, in front of a classroom full of blond children in braids and crew cuts, Sun is speaking Mandarin Chinese.
