The bilingual barrier
Article Abstract:
Bilingual education programs have been in evidence in the US since the 1960s. The idea behind the programs is that students can learn in their own language and gradually transfer studies to English. However, Hispanic students do not fare well while the program works for other students. The reason may be that Hispanic parents want their children to learn Spanish and that they are not encouraged to learn English.
