My mother has always told me that the more languages a person knows, that this the amount of different citizens they are to the world. This always made so much sense to me because the more you know about different cultures, practices and languages, the better competent communicator you become.

Logically, the more words we know, the more things we know about the world.

Scenario 2:
You are a bilingual person who’s work requires you to interact and speak English in the office space. Since you live in a different state than your mother, you make use of your lunch break by calling her whenever you get the chance. Since you only get one lunch hour throughout the work day, you often enjoy stretching your legs and getting away from your desk, taking the phone calls with your mother in the break room. Your mother however your mother only speaks your native language so that is the only way you speak with her. Lately you notice that your coworkers begin leaving the break room when you do your daily phone calls. One day you receive a very upsetting email from one of your coworkers stating that they are always uncomfortable being around you when you speak another language. They also mention that it is rude, insensitive and disrespectful to do so and that you should take your daily phone calls outside of the office. Based off of this scenario, what is your reaction:
A) Reply to the email saying that you didn’t realize you made them uncomfortable and will go out of your way to take your phone calls downstairs
B) Speak to the manager in charge explaining how you did nothing wrong and that you have a right to speak whatever language you choose
C) Say nothing and continue taking your lunch break phone calls because they are blowing things out of proportion

Scenario 1:
You are a teacher in an elementary school. One day you receive a transfer student who is non-American. This student speaks more than one language (including English) but sometimes you and the other students find it difficult understanding what he/she is saying. However, the student is great with turning in all of the assignments and is scoring on average with the rest of the class. One day, you notice that the students are all fed up with not being able to communicate effectively with their new classmate and as a result the student is being isolated. When you have a conversation with the student, you learn that they do not practice speaking English much at home because their parents only speak their native tongue. What do you do?
A) Enroll the student into an ESOL (English for Student of Other Languages)
B) Leave the student in the class and hope that this will help their social efforts and let them find their own way
C) Explain to the class that they just have to be more patient with the student ensuring that the student understands them

Being bilingual means that as an individual, you are able to comprehend, interact and communicate in two different and unique ways academically, socially, and even culturally. Yet even though knowing multiple languages are seen by some as being knowledgeable, others view it with hostility causing teasing and other socially unacceptable actions.
