What do we Know About Bilingual Education for Majority‐Language Students?

Abstract: In many communities around the world, competence in two, or more, languages is an issue of considerable personal, socio-cultural, economic, and political significance. For some, the issues surrounding bilingualism are viewed as "problems" to be overcome; for others, they are viewed as "challenges" that, once mastered, benefit the individual, the community, and even the nation in which they live. The need to know two or more languages is not new. Historical documents indicate that individuals and whole communit… Show more

“…Research on other program models have found positive relationships between students' attitudes and willingness to study foreign languages (Elyildirim & Ashton, 2006), as well as improved language competences (DaltonPuffer, 2007;Genesee, 2002;Lasagabaster, 2008;Marsh, 2008;Moore, 2006).

“…It was hypothesized that the language and literacy development of children who were exposed to English at home from birth would differ from children who were not exposed to English until they entered school at age 3 (Butler & Hakuta, 2004;Genesee, 2004;Oller & Eilers, 2002). Therefore, the participating children were divided into two groups: Home English Communication (HEC) and School English Communication (SEC).…”

“…171-190 lengua extranjera [LE] 4 en Colombia. En Canadá, Genesee (2004), Genesee y Geva (2006) y Genesee y Jared (2008) encontraron que en los grados primero y segundo de primaria en inmersión precoz total y parcial en francés los sujetos en inmersión son menos competentes que sus homólogos escolarizados en LM en la prueba de lectura English-Language Testing of Literacy Skills, cuyos componentes son, entre otros: comprensión de lectura, ortografía y comprensión de vocabulario. Sin embargo, afirman los autores anteriores, que a partir del grado 3º o 4º de primaria, cuando la LM es introducida al programa bilingüe, los niveles de lectura en LM de los bilingües son similares a los de sus homólogos escolarizados en LM.…”
