A Global Summit to Save the Tigers

From around 1,00,000 a century ago the number of tigers in the wild has been reduced to just about 3200 in 2010. With such an alarming decline in the number of tigers, the governments of the tiger range countries have joined hands along with the World Bank to save the majestic big cat of the Asian Jungle. St. Petersburg in Russia played host to an unprecedented event - the first ever high-level summit meeting to save an endangered species- The Tiger. The International Tiger Conservation Forum meeting which was organized by the government of the Russian Federation in association with the World Bank from November 21st to 24th was the culmination of nearly a two year long consultation process between the 13 tiger range countries to evolve a global strategy to save the big cat as part of the Global Tiger Initiative of the World Bank. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin along with leaders from India, China, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam signed the St. Petersburg Declaration affirming their resolve

    When it comes to the academic benefits of bilingual education amid students, it has been pointed out that grade three students who were taken through bilingual education from their kindergarten level of education did not perform in the same way Spanish-speaking students who started in English-only programs did in their class tests (Carlson &Meltzof, 2008). Spanish speaking children performed exceptionally better. However, as the same students advanced in their studies to the fifth grade, students who were subjected to bilingual education were more likely to read to the same standards or even better compared to their peers who went through English-only programs (Soderman, 2010). Bilingual education enabled individuals to read and write better in the additional languages they…

    Bilingualism has become very popular within the last couple of years. It is growing into society everyday, making it second nature to some people. In fact there are actually more bilingual individuals around the world compared to monolingual, suggesting that many countries are bilingual (Bialystok et al., 2012). A bilingual individual is defined by society as being able to fluently speak two languages (Woolfolk et al., 2012). Contrastingly, a monolingual individual is defined as only being able to speak one language, which is often called the mother tongue (Woolfolk et al., 2012).…

    Bialystock and Viswanathan reported that bilingual 8-year-old children demonstrated more skills than monolingual children on tasks that required that ability to inhibit a response when necessary and the ability to be cognitively flexible and to shift focus from one task to another (Levine, 2016, p. 403-404). We also find that, researchers have demonstrated that there are cognitive advantages of bilingualism, particularly on tasks measuring cognitive flexibility and selective attention. These tasks require regulation of inhibitory mechanisms that allows one to focus attention on relevant information while suppressing attention toward misleading information (Crivello et al., 2016, p.122). Both sources are supporting the advancement of children using experimental conclusions that elaborate on their particular findings. In the popular Newsweek media source we also find evidence of cognitive abilities in bilingual children however, they aim towards informing the public in a different manner. The difference between Newsweek and Levine and Crivello is that fact that Newsweek’s focus is aimed towards stating their opinion to the public using little research to state their claim rather than educating the audience about the advantages that bilingualism has for a child’s development.…

    In this modern era, majority of the world’s population is characterized as being bilingual. This is in most cases is manifested as a result of cross movement and interactions by people and societies which initiates the need to fit in and survive. The trend is seen as an important emerging perspective as it facilitates cross-cultural communication and positively affects cognitive abilities. Research shows that the bilingual brain can have better attention and task-switching capacities than the monolingual brain. This is manifested due to its developed ability to contain one language while using another.…

    Bilingual education has been shown to increase the academic achievement, cognitive development, metalinguistic awareness, and writing proficiency of bilingual students. The reason that explains the effectiveness of bilingual education is that it is easier for students to acquire their second language by first developing fluency in their native language. According to Estrada (2009), “when language learners learn grade-level academic content and skills in their first language throughout their instructional program, they can solidly transfer that knowledge to academic work in their second language” (p. 55). Therefore, when students develop reading, writing, and mathematical skills in their native language, it becomes easier for them to develop these skills in their second language. This way, bilingual education is effective in helping students achieve academic proficiency as well as language and communication skills in a second…

    Over the years, bilingual education has involved teaching children academics in two different languages so they may become competent learners and be successful at acquiring English. This type of education has been a hot topic that federal governments have debated whether to keep in the curriculum of schools. Studies have shown there are benefits that range from cognitive ability, educational advancement, to employment opportunities with a bilingual education, while the critics label it as a “failed experiment” that costed a whole lot of money and years to maintain a basic foundation in the second language. Although the cost is hefty for this exploration of a new language and is time consuming, the cognitive abilities, educational advancement,…
