Languages smarten up your brain - Guardian Weekly
Most people learn languages to help them communicate. Now a study of recent research into brain function reveals that students could be gaining a lot more from their pursuit of linguistic skills, says David Marsh

Now a study published by the European Commission reveals that learning an additional language such as English may bring benefits that go beyond the ability to use the language itself. This report has implications for why, when and how we teach and learn English as a second or foreign language.
One of the significant findings for English language teaching is that changes in the brain’s electrical activity may occur much earlier than previously thought.
this study suggests that changes in the brain may start even in the earlier stages of language learning.
Another cluster concerns enhanced mental flexibility.
The benefits reported include enhanced capacity for learning whereby knowledge of languages can lead to superior memory function, especially short-term “working” memory.
Most of the advantages described support overall competence-building for life and work in modern, information-rich, internet environments.
Enhanced problem-solving capability is also reported.
Greater understanding of how language functions and is used to achieve specific goals in life acts as the fourth cluster.
Finally the study reports on research that links knowledge of languages to a slowdown of age-related mental diminishment such as certain forms of dementia.
The cognitive neurosciences stress the need for powerful learning environments, and yet not enough of our language education is spent encouraging learners to engage in higher-order thinking about meaningful content that fires up the brain.

Students who are "given a greater degree of freedom to surf the Internet at school are less vulnerable to online dangers in the long-term,"
What Ofsted seems to be saying is that teaching students the critical thinking skills of media literacy ultimately lowers risk.
- "Who wrote the material on this site?"
- "Is the information on it likely to be accurate or could it be altered by anybody?"
- "If others click onto the site, can I be sure that they are who they say
they are?", and
- "What information about myself should I not give out on the site?"
