World Language Learners

Studies show that multilingual (knowing

more than one language) experiences im-

prove cognitive and problem-solving abili-

ties. At GIS, starting from our Transitional

Kindergarten to 1st grade classes, we offer

Russian as an elective class. Once students

are in 2nd grade, they get to choose between Russian and Span-

ish. We have a wonderful staff of credentialed Russian and

Spanish teachers, as well as, Russian and Spanish Para-

educators who support language learning. Students have the

opportunity to engage with another world language apart from

English. According to a Pew study, about 20 percent of K-12

students in America study a foreign language (compared with an

average of 92 percent in Europe), and only 10 states and the

District of Columbia make foreign-language learning a high

school graduation requirement. Fortunately, in California stu-

dents who want to pursue a degree in a California State Univer-

sity are required to study at least two years of a foreign language.

Hence, a strong emphasis in California high schools for stu-

dents to take up to three years of a foreign language, which is

equivalent to two years at a CSU level. A few studies shown in

the NEA Research, “The Benefits of a Second Language

Study” state that:

Applying current standard practices of foreign language in-

struction ("Five Cs of Communication, Culture, Connections

with other disciplines, Comparisons with students' native lan-

guages and cultures, and use of the foreign language in Com-

munities outside the classroom") reinforces English language

course content of other coursework. (Curtain & Dahlberg

2004)

Learning another language can enhance knowledge of Eng-

lish structure and vocabulary (Curtain & Dahlberg, 2004).

A study of 13,200 third and fifth graders in Louisiana public

schools revealed that, regardless of race, gender, or academic

level, children taking foreign language classes did better on

the English section of the Louisiana Basic Skills Test than

those who did not. (Dumas 1999)

Strong evidence shows that time spent on foreign language

study strongly reinforces the core subject areas of reading,

English language literacy, social studies and math. Foreign

language learners consistently outperform control groups in

core subject areas on standardized tests, often significantly.

(Armstrong & Rogers 1997; Saunders 1998; Masciantonio

1977; Rafferty 1986; Andrade 1989; Kretschmer &

Kretschmer 1989)

One study found students scored significantly higher in math

and language arts after one semester of foreign language

study 90 minutes per week. (Armstrong 1997)

Students who started kindergarten in the first Kansas City

foreign language magnet schools in 1988 had surpassed na-

tional averages in all subjects by the time they reached fifth

grade. These foreign language students performed especially

well in mathematics. (Eaton 1994)

Overall, there is ample research showing that students who are

exposed to a foreign language program of study at an early age,

tend to perform better academically, as compared to students

who did not participate in a foreign language program.

GIS is proud to offer both Russian and Spanish languages for

our students. Reach out to one of our teachers today if you have

Исследования показывают что

многоязычный опыт (знание более одного

языка) улучшает когнитивные

способности и способность решать

проблемы. В GIS, начиная с

подготовительного класса по первый

класс, наши студенты изучают русский

язык. Со второго и по восьмой классы мы

предлагаем два языка для изучения:

русский и испанский. У нас есть замечательный штат

квалифицированных педагогов и помощников русского и

испанского языков. Студенты постоянно имеют возможность

общаться на другом языке мира кроме английского. По данным

исследования Pew, около 20% студентов K-12 в Америке

изучают иностранный язык (по сравнению с 92% в среднем по

Европе), и только 10 штатов и Округ Колумбия делают изучение

иностранного языка обязательным требованием для окончания

средней школы. К счастью, в Калифорнии студенты, которые

хотят получить степень в Калифорнийском университете штата,

должны изучать иностранный язык по крайней мере два года.

Следовательно, в калифорнийских средних школах особое

внимание уделяется тому, чтобы студенты изучали до трех лет

иностранный язык, что эквивалентно двум годам на уровне

университета штата Калифорния. Как указано в исследовании

NEA, "Преимущества изучения второго языка":

Применение текущей стандартной практики обучения

иностранному языку ("Пять Cs коммуникации, культуры,

связи с другими дисциплинами, сравнение с родными

языками и культурами студентов, и использование

иностранного языка в сообществах за пределами класса")

усиливает содержание курса английского языка в других

курсовых работах. (Curtain & Dahlberg, 2004)

Изучение другого языка может улучшить знание структуры

и лексики английского языка (Curtain & Dahlberg, 2004).

Изучение 13 200 учеников третьего и пятого классов

Луизианских государственных школ показало, что

независимо от расы, пола или академического уровня,

дети, посещающие занятия по иностранному языку,

показали лучшие результаты по английскому разделу

Луизианского теста на базовые навыки, чем те, кто этого не

делал. (Дюма, 1999 г.)

Весьма убедительные доказательства показывают, что

время, затрачиваемое на изучение иностранного языка, в

значительной степени укрепляет такие основные

предметные области, как чтение, грамотность английского

языка, обществознание и математика. Учащиеся,

изучающие иностранный язык, постоянно опережают

контрольные группы в основных предметных областях по

результатам стандартизированных тестов, зачастую

значительно. (Armstrong & Rogers 1997; Saunders 1998; Mas-

ciantonio 1977; Rafferty 1986; Andrade 1989; Kretschmer &

Kretschmer 1989)

Одно исследование показало, что после одного семестра

изучения иностранного языка 90 минут в неделю студенты

получали значительно больше баллов по математике и

языковым искусствам. (Armstrong 1997)

Студенты, изучающие иностранный язык, постоянно

опережают контрольные группы в основных предметных

областях на стандартизированных тестах, часто

значительно превосходя их. (Armstrong & Rogers 1997,

Saunders 1998, Masciantonio 1977, Rafferty 1986, Andrade,

Kretschmer & Kretschmer 1989)

Те учащиеся, которые в 1988 году начали изучение

иностранных языков с подготовитльного класса в Канзас-

Сити, к моменту их поступления в пятый класс

превосходили средние показатели по стране по всем

предметам. Эти ученики, изучающие иностранные языки,

особенно хорошо проявили себя в математике. (Eaton

1994)

В целом, есть много исследований, показывающих, что

ученики, которые обучаются по программе изучения

иностранного языка в раннем возрасте, как правило,

показывают лучшие академические результаты по сравнению с

учениками, которые не участвовали в программе изучения

иностранного языка.

Los estudios de World Language Learners

muestran que las experiencias multilingües

(que saben más de un idioma) mejoran las

habilidades cognitivas y de resolución de prob-

lemas. En GIS, comenzando desde nuestras

clases de Kindergarten Transicional hasta 1er

grado, ofrecemos ruso como una clase electi-

va. Una vez que los estudiantes están en segun-

do grado, pueden elegir entre ruso y español.

Tenemos un maravilloso personal de maestros acreditados de ruso

y español, así como para-educadores de ruso y español que apoyan

el aprendizaje de idiomas. Los estudiantes tienen la oportunidad de

interactuar con otro idioma mundial aparte del inglés. Según un

estudio de Pew, aproximadamente el 20 por ciento de los estu-

diantes de K-12 en Estados Unidos estudian un idioma extranjero

(en comparación con un promedio del 92 por ciento en Europa), y

solo 10 estados y el Distrito de Columbia hacen que el aprendizaje

de idiomas extranjeros sea una graduación de la escuela secundaria

requisito. Afortunadamente, en California, los estudiantes que

desean obtener un título en una Universidad Estatal de California

deben estudiar al menos dos años de un idioma extranjero. Por lo

tanto, un fuerte énfasis en las escuelas secundarias de California

para que los estudiantes tomen hasta tres años de un idioma extran-

jero, lo que equivale a dos años a nivel CSU. Algunos estudios que

se muestran en NEA Research, "Los beneficios de un estudio de un

segundo idioma" establecen que:

Aplicar las prácticas estándar actuales de la enseñanza de idio-

mas extranjeros ("Cinco C de comunicación, cultura, conexiones

con otras disciplinas, comparaciones con los idiomas nativos de

los estudiantes y culturas y el uso del idioma extranjero en co-

munidades fuera del aula ") refuerza el contenido del curso de

inglés de otros cursos. (Curtain & Dahlberg 2004) Aprender otro idioma puede mejorar el conocimiento de la

estructura y el vocabulario del inglés (Curtain & Dahlberg, 2004). Un estudio de 13,200 estudiantes de tercer y quinto grado en las

escuelas públicas de Louisiana reveló que, independientemente

de la raza, el sexo o el nivel académico, los niños que tomaban

clases de idiomas extranjeros obtuvieron mejores resultados en

la sección de inglés de la Prueba de habilidades básicas de Loui-

siana que aquellos que no lo hicieron. (Dumas 1999) Una fuerte evidencia muestra que el tiempo dedicado al estudio

de lenguas extranjeras refuerza fuertemente las materias princi-

pales de lectura, alfabetización en inglés, estudios sociales y ma-

temáticas. Los estudiantes de idiomas extranjeros superan con-

stantemente a los grupos de control en las materias principales

en las pruebas estandarizadas, a menudo de manera significativa.

(Armstrong & Rogers 1997; Saunders 1998; Masciantonio 1977;

Rafferty 1986; Andrade 1989; Kretschmer & Kretschmer 1989) Un estudio encontró que los estudiantes obtuvieron puntajes

significativamente más altos en matemáticas y artes del lenguaje

después de un semestre de estudio de idiomas extranjeros 90

minutos por semana. (Armstrong 1997) Los estudiantes que comenzaron el jardín de infantes en las pri-

meras escuelas magnet de idiomas extranjeros de Kansas City en

1988 habían superado los promedios nacionales en todas las

materias cuando llegaron al quinto grado. Estos estudiantes de

idiomas extranjeros se desempeñaron especialmente bien en

matemáticas. (Eaton 1994)

En general, existe una amplia investigación que muestra

que los estudiantes que están expuestos a un programa de estudio

de idiomas extranjeros a una edad temprana, tienden a tener un

mejor rendimiento académico, en comparación con los estudiantes

que no participaron en un programa de idiomas extranjeros. GIS se

enorgullece de ofrecer los idiomas ruso y español para nuestros

estudiantes. Póngase en contacto con uno de nuestros maestros hoy

si tiene alguna pregunta.
