Julian Jason Kelly Durrell
2. The following two statements from people in the film summarize two different perspectives about bilingual education and/or immersion language education in the United States. After reading the two statements, write a short reaction/reflection about where you stand on the issue. You will only share your views with another person in class.
“There is no country that has more linguistic assets. But we seem to take pride in being monolingual and we even try to amend our constitutions to make sure that we remain monolingual when the rest of the world under globalization is learning second and third languages while we are essentially shooting our own feet. It is a national question. What does it mean to be an educated person in America today?”
– Dr. Ling-chi Wang (Scholar & Activist)
“In this country, so much is offered to the children to speak other languages. We don’t have to teach it in school. We really don’t. It’s taken away from their other curriculum. In America we should speak English. This is America. I don’t think I should be paying my taxes for someone else to learn a language.”
– Kelly’s Great-Aunt
