It's worth making an investment in this WONDERFUL course! It has exceeded all my expectations and the first course has already left me wanting more. A very rich course with extremely relevant and valuable information.

Outstanding professionals! Both Rebekah and Carol are exceptionally knowledgeable about bilingualism in both theory and practice. Their expertise is conveyed through clear, warm, and effective communication. I'm a fan of Bilinguistas!
- Fernanda Nyari
Bilingual School Director
I took the courses along with the early years coordinator at my school. The courses taught us essential concepts and teaching practices and gave us tools to assess and improve our work as managers. Highly recommend!
- Isabela Landim
Early Years Pedagogical Advisor
During my 11 years of working with bilingual early childhood education, I have learned a lot about everyday teaching practices but felt a lack in having a solid theoretical foundation. I felt like I needed that to inform my pedagogical decisions and bring greater clarity to my work. This course has provided what I lacked. Now, instead of teaching on “auto-pilot,” I now review the reasons why I do what I do and I have new skills to work differently. This course also provides very rich and well organized independent study material.

bilinguistas

Bilinguistas was founded in 2021 with the vision of advancing highly reflective early years bilingual practice for new and experienced teachers and administrators, especially in the Global South.
Our practice involves not only a dynamic language acquisition process, but also one which focuses on each child's socio-cultural and cognitive development.
We understand language in two distinct yet conjoined ways; as a tool for self-expression and as an object of study.
