Book Party at The Invisible Dog Art Center in Brooklyn

Back In Brooklyn where everything began! It was here that, 10 years ago, the first French dual language program was launched at P.S. 58. Many programs followed after that in French, Russian, Japanese, German, Italian, Chinese, Polish, Arabic. More programs and languages will be added in the years to come, I’m sure of that. I wanted the book to be directed towards parents, with the goal of providing accessible knowledge, guidance, and encouragement as they consider implementing a dual-language program in their community or school. In that spirit, the book provides a roadmap for parents willing to embark on such an initiative, along with suggested steps to follow, examples, and testimonies from parents and educators who have chosen a similar path.

Book Launch of The Bilingual Revolution at Albertine Bookstore

I was thrilled to see so many people come to my first event in New York. It was an exciting moment for me to both present this book and spread the word about the Bilingual Revolution.

I had a great exchange with lots of parents, educators, journalists, and people who are just as passionate as I am about bilingualism and language education. We share the same belief that dual-language education has the potential to serve many families, communities, and schools in the U.S. and around the world.

[FR] La Révolution bilingue, ce qu’en dit Nathalie Risacher, Chief Operating Officer à Natixis CIB Americas

La Révolution Bilingue de Fabrice Jaumont est un chef d’œuvre révolutionnaire, un livre incontournable et pragmatique pour non seulement parents et éducateurs mais également pour les managers et dirigeants d’entreprises à vocation et ambition international.

Elle permet également de réduire les inégalités au sein des communautés d’expatriés en offrant à tous un enseignement bilingue de grande qualité.

Enfin l’éducation multilingue offre, dès le plus jeune âge, une formation à l’écoute de l’autre et de la différence, atout indispensable pour la jeunesse de demain. Ce livre est donc un “must-have” qui doit être lue par tous ceux, parents, éducateurs et leaders, qui veulent agir en faveur de cette incroyable révolution linguistique et culturelle menée brillamment par Fabrice Jaumont et qui est incontestablement la solution la plus efficace pour relever les nombreux défis de la mondialisation.

[DE] Kostenloser Zusatzunterricht “Deutsch”, ab September 2017 an der öffentlichen Grundschule P.S. 18 (Brooklyn)

Als ich Sylvia Wellhöfer, eine deutsche Mutter, die in Brooklyn wohnt, zum ersten Mal traf, hatte sie gerade von dem etablierten französischen Dual-Language-Programm an der P.S. 110 (Greenpoint, Brooklyn) erfahren. Sie war überzeugt von der Methode und gründete im Sommer 2015 eine Eltern-Initiative mit dem Ziel das erste kostenlose deutsch/englische Dual-Language-Programm an der Ostküste zu formieren.

Dank der Bemühungen vieler Eltern und institutioneller Partner, wird das bestehende spanisch/englische Dual-Language-Programm an der P.S. 18 (Williamsburg, Brooklyn) ab September 2017 um deutschen Sprachunterricht erweitert. Alle Kinder, die mit Kindergarten (Geburtsjahr 2012) anfangen, haben die Möglichkeit dreisprachig ausgebildet zu werden.

She started the German Language Program initiative in the summer of 2015 and, thanks to all of her group’s efforts, the first German Language Enrichment Program will finally begin with Kindergarten this September at P.S. 18 – Edward Bush in Williamsburg (Brooklyn).
