Abstract | In the United States, bilingual education continues to provoke fierce debate. It seems that nearly everyone--from educators to policymakers to parents with school-age children to those without children--has a strong opinion on whether children with little fluency in English should be taught academic content in their home language as they learn English. This article provides an overview of the history of bilingual education in America's educational landscape, discusses political support for and challenges to bilingual education, and reviews research that states that instruction in a student's home language can improve achievement in English (or whatever the national language may be). It is time to move the discussion away from bilingual education and focus instead on bilingualism and its benefits for all of our children and the adults they will become. (ERIC). |
