Significance of Multilingual Education on Elementary Schoolers

The world has become seemingly smaller with the advancements of technologies, instead of taking days to receive a written letter, it takes seconds to get an email. While the connection is obvious there still seems to be a barrier between the majority of the world's population: Language. Though it seems irrelevant in people's small communities, the social complexities that language has are worth the recognition, because of the importance of communication. People's ways of using language differ but they all have a median goal, to get their messages across. Language is based on lettered rules that are meant to give emotion, information, and power. Recently however it has come to light that the ability to speak multiple languages can close the gap of miscommunication within cultures.
