“Révolution Bilingue”, le podcast mensuel produit par French Morning et présenté par Fabrice Jaumont, s’intéresse ce mois-ci au cerveau. Depuis une dizaine d’années, les recherches sur les effets du bilinguisme sur notre lobe frontal ont beaucoup progressé.
Fabrice Jaumont reçoit Ana Ines Ansaldo, qui non seulement parle cinq langues, mais est aussi et surtout une des chercheuses les plus réputées sur cette question. Dans son laboratoire de l’Université de Montréal elle a notamment montré que les bilingues résistent mieux au vieillissement que les monolingues.
Les controverses scientifiques sur les effets réels du bilinguisme sur le cerveau sont encore nombreuses, mais, grâce aux travaux de chercheurs comme le professeur Ansaldo, un consensus se dégage pour considérer que le bilinguisme donne des avantages cognitifs qui vont bien au-delà de la seule maîtrise de deux ou plusieurs langues.

and TBR Books.
CALEC President Fabrice Jaumont delivered the keynote speech during the STARTALK Fall Conference in Houston, Texas which was held on October 19 and 20, 2018, at the Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria Hotel. The STARTALK Fall 2018 Conference focused on sharing practices, innovative strategies, effective learning tools and resources, and insights uncovered by reflection practices that were experienced in various STARTALK programs.
STARTALK is a federal grant program funded by the National Security Agency and administered by the National Foreign Language Center at the University of Maryland. STARTALK grants fund summer world language learning programs as well as professional development programs for world language teachers. STARTALK grants support programs for students and teachers of eleven critical need languages: Arabic, Chinese, Dari, Hindi, Korean, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Swahili, Turkish, and Urdu.
Through these programs, the STARTALK program seeks to achieve three goals:
– Increase the number of students enrolled in the study of critical languages
– Increase the number of highly effective critical-language teachers in the U.S.
– Increase the number of highly effective materials and curricula available to teachers and students of critical-need languages
At the end of Fabrice Jaumont’s presentation featuring CALEC’s work via The Bilingual Revolution, all participants were offered access to TBR Books where they could download our ebooks and resources for free.

She wowed us all with her insight on the bilingual brain. Thank you French Morning for making this talk available online.
