Bilingual Ed.

A detailed Summary of Bilingual Ed.

Hola. Como estas! Bien. Hoy estoy hablando de educacion bilingual. Or. Hello. How are you. Good. Today I am going to talk about bilingual education. I have been studying Spanish for five academic years now. What you just read is pretty much all that I can say. I was taught Spanish when I was a small child by my mom and grandmother, but I have failed to retain much of it because of the lack of education in a secondary language. The lack of financial funding of bilingual educational programs comes from the effectiveness of the bilingual educational studies.

In my case, I learned Spanish at an early age but could not retain it because there was not enough funding to hire sufficient staff at an elementary level, especially one who could teach a second language.

Effect size difference between the bilingual education and English-only programs should be calculated and reported"(Bilingual Research Journal, 22:1 page 2-3). These criteria set standards for other bilingual educational studies to determine the adequacy of the bilingual educational research.

Greene does a study on bilingual education criteria and it's effects. Greene has a set of criteria he must follow to achieve the maximum amount of results. These eight criteria are used to see what can constitute a good bilingual study. The criteria set guidelines to follow to obtain accurate results. These eight criteria are as follows: "1. Compare students in a bilingual program to a control group of similar students. 2. Differences between the treatment and the control group have to be controlled statistically or randomly assigned to treatment and control groups. 3. Results have to be based on standardized test scores in English. 4. Differences between the scores of the treatment and the control groups have to be determined by applying appropriate test for both groups. 5. Only studies that measure the effects of the bilingual educational programs after at least one academic year should be included in any review of the literature. 6. Exclude studies of Canadian immersi
