Bilinguismo na educação infantil: uma análise comparativa entre duas dissertações desenvolvidas em seis escolas brasileiras que pretende explicitar como o processo do bilinguísmo ocorre em crianças nas escolas investigadas

Abstract

Bilingualism encompasses the ability to communicate clearly in two different languages. Such competence involves complex and often long processes, motivated by numerous variables. That is, to become bilingual, the individual goes through some phases and needs to dominate some areas, whether from childhood or not. Linguistic and environmental aspects are essential for this journey, the exposure of a child to the language from an early age and in an environment where learning takes place spontaneously and with qualified people, can also be a key factor for this learning to occur effectively. This is bibliographical research that is based on two Master's Dissertations, which were compared with the objective of explaining how the process of bilingualism occurred in the children of the schools investigated by the authors of the dissertations and still in relation to the basis of this work, were used authors such as Krashen (1981), Vygotsky (1991) and Bloomfield (1935) among other scholars. The result of this study shows that when children are introduced from an early age into a bilingual environment and with professionals trained to teach a second language, it is possible for them to learn a second language effectively through this immersion
