Biliteracy and the Brain!

Feliz viernes, BABELers! 🎉 To get ready for the weekend, we bring you research on the effects of biliteracy on the brain, thanks to the amazing work of our undergraduate research assistant @marissa.cintora 🤩

Not all bilinguals are biliterate. Oftentimes, there is a disconnect in the auditory and written modalities in learning language. However, research shows that reading in a second language can promote better development of the language and can also strengthen existing connections! A workout of your brain! 🧠 💪🏽

Now go and work that brain this weekend! Are you biliterate? What are some of your favorite books? 📚 Drop them in the chat!
