Bilingual education is an instructional approach that teaches students in two languages. This method aims to develop proficiency in both the students' native language and a second language, often English. It can help students maintain their cultural identity while also gaining valuable language skills. Programs can vary in structure, including dual-language immersion and transitional bilingual education. In dual-language immersion, students learn subjects in both languages, while transitional bilingual education focuses on moving students from their native language to English over time. Bilingual education supports cognitive development and enhances communication abilities in a globalized world.
