195 countries, 7,000+ officially known languages, thousands of hidden dialects. When we think of languages, words that come to mind are often related to communication. Especially with knowing multiple languages, we think of amplifying relations with interpersonal communication. Yet, a problem exists with the lack of knowledge about bilingualism’s advantage besides these perceptions in globalized societies. This issue impacts monolinguals because of decreasing language education neglecting bilingualism’s increase of cognitive skills. Limited research on the benefits of bilingualism among adolescents exacerbates this problem, as existing studies often focus on infants and older adults, considering these age groups depict clear benefits without confounding variables. However, adolescents have the greatest adaptability for language acquisition, asserting suitability in measuring bilingualism before brain development hinders learning abilities in adulthood (Smith, 2018). The purpose of this study is to underscore the beneficial advantage bilingualism—specifically among adolescents—provides unconsciously daily, ultimately aiding to promote language education.
