Join us to celebrate the launch of the German edition of
The bilingual Revolution with author Fabrice Jaumont.
Die bilinguale Revolution - Zweisprachigkeit und die Zukunft der Bildung tells the story of a grassroots movement that emerged out of the dedicated involvement of motivated parents, educators, and community actors willing to create and support dual language programs in New York City public schools. Combining insight on learning and living in two languages, the book shares practical applications and examples of bilingual education, from preschool to high school. With New York City as a backdrop, Fabrice Jaumont, from a personal and scholarly perspective, recognizes in his book the successes and setbacks of these programs through vignettes that feature the parents and educators.
About the Author
Nicknamed the "godfather of language immersion programs" by the
New York Times,
Fabrice Jaumont has more than 25 years of experience in international education and the development of multilingual programs in the United States. In spearheading what he calls the "Bilingual Revolution," Jaumont has put his expertise at the service of the French, Italian, Japanese, German, and Russian communities. A true believer in the benefits of bilingualism –from improved critical thinking to a profound sensitivity toward other people and cultures–, Jaumont depicts and encourages the development of bilingual programs. In the diversity of the stories he shares, Jaumont paints a picture of a viable 21st-century solution to preserve linguistic heritage and raise a generation of young bilingual, bi-literate, multicultural citizens of the world.
Author will sign copies after the event. Net proceedings go to support the German Language Program at PS 18 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
