Why choose DLI?

• Research has shown that bilingual students perform better than monolingual students (who speak only one language) on cooperative and collaborative problem-solving tasks.

• In the words of Gigi Luk, an associate professor at Harvard's Graduate School of Education, "bilingualism is an experience that shapes our brain for a lifetime."

• People who speak two languages (bilinguals) often outperform monolinguals on general measures of executive function."[Bilinguals] can pay focused attention without being distracted and also improve in the ability to switch from one task to another," says Antonella Sorace at the University of Edinburgh, in Scotland.
