Abstract	This document reports the outcomes of a research project which investigated the effects of bilingualism on vocational concept formation. It focuses more on the broad application of the research than on the technical presentation and analysis of the data. The report is divided into five principal chapters: (1) bilingualism and vocational education, (2) a review of concept learning, (3) procedures used in the study, (4) presentation of the findings, and (5) application of the study. Chapter 1 includes a discussion concerning education and the Mexican-American community in Texas. Chapter 2 discusses such topics as concept learning in the classroom and variables affecting concept learning (learner and learning situation characteristics). Teaching concept formats are presented in chapter 3, such as lesson plans, development of instructional materials, tests, and translation of materials from English to Spanish. Chapter 4, results of the study, includes data tables and explanations of sub-studies within the main project. The application and implications of the data presented in chapter 4 are discussed in chapter 5. A list of references and vocabulary words are included in the report along with appended materials used in the study: visuals, test instruments, and scripts for instructional materials (English and Spanish versions).
