The Benefits of Bilingualism.
Overview & Synopsis
This paper presents the academic benefits of bilingual education gained by language-minority students, highlighting school districts that have had great success with bilingual education and discussing the negative consequences of the proposed English for Children initiative, which would end bilingual education and instead provide intensive sheltered English followed by placement in regular classrooms.
