Bilingual education refers to an educational approach that involves teaching students in two languages, usually their native language and English. The goal is to help students become proficient in both languages while also providing them with a quality education. This type of instruction can take place in various settings such as immersion programs where the majority of classroom instruction is delivered in the second language or heritage language programs that focus on preserving cultural identity and language skills. Bilingual education has been shown to have many benefits, including improved academic performance, cognitive development, and cross-cultural understanding.
