The Economic Benefits of Bilingualism

The Economic Benefits of Bilingualism Business Opportunity, Job Security, and Job Opportunities On paper, Canada is a bilingual country. It has two official languages: English and French. All students in Canada take second language courses at school, but many do not learn enough of the second language to be considered bilingual. In part, this is because the second language is not always taught effectively in schools, and students are not always motivated to learn the second language. Should we be concerned about monolingualism? Are there any advantages to bilingualism? According to Economic Advantages of Bilingualism, a Government of Canada report (Heritage Canada, 2016), the answer is yes. Business Opportunity, Job Security, and Job Opportunities Bilingualism creates greater economic activity, job security, and job opportunities. Being able to trade goods and services in two languages adds 3.3 billion dollars each year to the economies of Canada’s two most bilingual provinces, New Brunswick and Quebec. Companies recognize the value of bilingualism when facing economic hardship due to rising wages since they lay off monolingual employees first and bilingual employees last. Bilingual workers enjoy more employment opportunities than monolinguals since bilinguals are more mobile. Unlike their monolingual counterparts, they can move to geographic areas where their second language is spoken during an economic downturn to find work. The economic benefits of bilingualism Bilinguals are Highly Employable Students’ choice of academic programs can have a big effect on their ability to find jobs. For example, many people choose to study sciences with the hope that they can find a well-paying job in the future. Not many students realize, however, that the research reveals that graduates of Modern Languages find work sooner after graduation than graduates from Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics programs. The reason Modern Languages graduates can avoid unemployment early in their careers is that they their communication skills make them employable in greater range of industries in multiple sectors of the economy. If one sector is shrinking, a Modern Languages graduate can find work in a sector that is growing. Bilingualism makes workers immediately more employable where they already live. Bilinguals Earn More Money Research also shows that bilinguals are paid better than monolingualsâ€"even monolinguals with a higher IQ. When compared with a more intelligent monolingual, a less intelligent bilingual counterpart will earn more because of better communication skills. In Canada, bilinguals make, on average, 37% more than their monolingual co-workers. This means that a monolingual who makes $20 per hour could make $27.40 by learning a second language.  You don’t even have to be a college graduate to benefit from having a second language.  High school graduates who studied Modern Languages make 4% more money than students who avoided language courses. In Quebec, where the demand for English is stronger than the demand for French in the rest of Canada, Economics professors Louis Christofides and Robert Swidinsky   (2010)  found that bilingual French-speaking men make about 7%   more than monolingual French speakers. Those same bilinguals make nearly 21% more if they speak English on the job. In other words, jobs that actually require using English at work pay bilinguals 14% more than jobs that only require a knowledge of English. Women bilinguals in Quebec had similar salary advantages. Learn Your Second Language at School Learning a second language outside of school is not easy. Many workers want to develop their second language skills, but half believe that their company does not provide enough language training. Their bosses seem reluctant to pay more for language training, which is surprising because nearly 70% of company executives believe that bilingualism increases innovation and sales. So, while you are at school, look for opportunities to learn a second language. It will help you stand out in a job interview when it comes time to look for a job. When asked, Human Resources managers say that bilingual job candidates have more determination, discipline, and cultural awareness, and they believe that bilinguals listen and learn better than monolingual candidates. Language learning seems to help students develop soft skills, those personal attributes that enable workers to interact effectively and harmoniously with other employees. More and more, employers are starting to recognize the value of soft skills to the productivity and success of their business. References Heritage Canada. (2016).

More Standardized Testing What is the SBAC

More Standardized Testing What is the SBAC SBAC: Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium What is this new SBAC test anyway? First off, SBAC stands for Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, which is a long name that basically stands for ‘a test your child has to take’. Some of your children took the first version of this exam already as some schools administered it in spring 2014. All of your children will be taking it in spring 2015 (its never too early to get an Orange County private test-prep tutor). To get a taste of what your children will be going through next year, I decided to take a section of the practice test myself. You can also take a section if you want. So how did I do? Unfortunately I didn’t get a score because of a technical error (I couldn’t answer all of the questions because some of the electronic components where inactive. This does not give me a great first impression and brings up a whole other issue: Is computerized testing really better than paper testing, given that, on paper, I could have filled in all the bubbles with my pencil? That is another topic entirely but one worth exploring. So, aside from the technical difficulties, what did I think of the test? To be honest it seemed a tad like the SAT, but in a simpler format. It was multiple choice and the section I took was based on a short passage. However, there were some important differences to consider. First, there are multi part questions. For example, If your child gets answer 6A wrong, they will most certainly get part 6B wrong, as part B directly relates to or supports part A. I highly recommend that you take a practice test yourself to better understand what the changes will be: View an SBAC practice test here: Smarter Balanced Practice and Training Tests Why do we need an SBAC? The general theory behind grade level standardized testing is to measure the following: How well students are learning, how well teachers are teaching, how effectively school districts work, and if the current content of aforementioned standardized tests represent the ‘average’ student (READ: Content Knowledge and the Common Core Standards). Keep in mind that the ‘average’ student in the state of California might be different than the ‘average’ student in another state and that the ‘average’ student in 2014 might be different than the ‘average’ student in 2020. The term ‘average’ is also a tricky one since its definition can change so rapidly and extensively. For instance, a C grade used to accurately define the average student (technically it still does) but the average college bound senior will certainly not have a 2.0 GPA (that would be straight Cs). Most students and parents are not really happy with being defined as average but we still have to define average in order to become ‘above average’. The justifications go on and on and, whether we like it or not, consistent standardized testing is a reality of 21st century student life. To get some more official definitions and reasoning about the SBAC, take a look at the CA department of education site: California Department of Education Just down the road from Irvine Unified, Capistrano Unified offers some helpful information about the SBAC, check it out here: Capistrano Unified School District My next thought about the SBAC is, why do we need to keep changing standardized tests? (We will also see a new SAT in 2016.) The main goal of standardized testing at the secondary level is to determine if common core ideals are being met and to what degree as well as to identify areas for remediation. So why is it so difficult to meet common core? Perhaps it has to do with the fact that different children learn in different ways and it is hard to test the abilities of every student in one exam. Perhaps finance comes into play. The more money going into a school district means more teachers, better qualified teachers, and smaller class sizes. Unfortunately the opposite holds true, less money means less quality. Regardless, the best way to cope with all these changes is to be informed. One issue that is of great concern is that I can’t seem to figure out how the SBAC is graded. (The SAT, on the other hand has a handy formula in the back of their practice test book Make sure you run through the test book with an Orange County private SAT tutor). I would like to know which questions are worth more than others and which, if any, give partial credit and so on. This is what a few public school teachers have to say about speculation of the SBAC: UHS Evaluates Upcoming Common Core Smarter Balanced Assessment. It seems that these teachers are as curious as I am. However, curiosity means that we, as educators, don’t really know what all this means yet. I would be very happy to see children learn about things that they can apply to everyday life and to learn interdisciplinary skills, but I am not yet convinced that an update in standardized testing will result in this. I am waiting anxiously, along with all of you, to find out if SBAC takes our children’s’ education to greater heights or keeps things stagnant (An Irvine in-home academic tutor will take your childs learning to greater heights).

Saving more money while teaching overseas

Saving more money while teaching overseas It goes without saying that the benefits of teaching overseas are far more numerous than simply salary, but we can appreciate that everyone wants to be able to pay their bills and save a bit of money. Depending on where in the world teachers choose to teach, the amount of take-home pay can vary greatly, but if you read below you’ll find some really simple suggestions to stretch your income and save more. Consider all your options Don’t get your heart set on one specific position until you’ve done some research and compared several positions. If you take a look at the Teach Away job board, you’ll see that we are hiring for a variety of roles all over the world. Almost all of these positions list benefits and salary information, so if you’re looking for a position in Korea, refine your search to show just jobs in Korea and then you can compare the positions that you’re qualified for and apply to whichever interest you. This ultimately gives you the most choice when it comes time to accept a position. Look for a flatmate If you will be responsible for paying for your accommodations from your take-home salary, a flatmate can really cut costs for you. Split rent and share typical housing expenses by living with another teacher. Often, schools will help match teachers if they won’t provide accommodations in the contract. This is also a great way to make a solid friend while teaching overseas. Watch out for tourist traps The cost of living in Canada, the US, the UK, and Australia can be substantially more expensive than living in China, Vietnam, or the UAE. The cost of transit, groceries, basic goods and services, and travel can be much more affordable. This is often why you hear of teachers that managed to save a great deal of their take-home salary while teaching overseas in Asia. One thing to watch out for is tourist traps where you’ll typically pay inflated prices for “tourist friendly” goods and services. Save money by going where the locals go: shop at local markets for groceries and avoid expensive restaurants and bars designed to lure tourists in. Supplement your income by offering private classes Everyone learns differently, and though the classroom setting might work for most people, some people prefer to learn in a more private learning environment. This is where you can come in: if you’re interested in saving a little extra money while teaching overseas, consider looking in to offering private classes in your free time. You can take on as many or as few students as you’d like and you can set your own schedule.
