/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Multilingual.png1600800Researchers have long advocated for the benefits of multilingualism. Among a wide range of benefits, bilingualism and multilingualism can mitigate the wage-gap for those receiving lower incomes and support cognitive functioning skills like problem solving. Despite these benefits, persistent myths about multilingualism plague adult education programs. This blog dispels these myths, highlights the benefits of a multilingual approach, and shares resources for adult educators to expand their use of a multilingual approach to providing adult education services.
