Bilingual education involves teaching students with limited English proficiency in both their native language and in English. Bilingualism is defined as the use of two languages by an individual, with proficiency fluctuating based on language use opportunities. A study found that students who received bilingual instruction were less likely to drop out of secondary school and had fewer retentions than students who did not receive bilingual elementary education, though GPA and absenteeism differences were small. Research has shown that bilingual children have faster inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility than monolinguals due to developing executive functions in two cultures and languages.

2. BILINGUAL EDUCATION
Education in an English-language school system in which students with
little fluency in English are taught in both their native language and
English
Bilingualism is commonly defined as the use of at least two languages by
an individual (ASHA, 2004). It is a fluctuating system in children and
adults whereby use of and proficiency in two languages may change
depending on the opportunities to use the languages and exposure to
other users of the languages.
3. IMPACTS OF BILINGUAL EDUCATION
The experimental group students (N = 86) had received one or more years
of bilingual instruction at the elementary level while the control group
students (N = 90) had not participated in an elementary bilingual
program. While differences in grade-point average (GPA) and
absenteeism were small, the bilinguals were less likely to drop-out and
experienced fewer retentions. Secondary analyses focused on the
relationships within the experimental group between number of years
enrolled in bilingual programs and secondary school outcomes
4. READING AND LANGUAGE OUTCOMES
Emphasized the importance of English, but for very different reasons.
Parents focused on their children's language learning as a measure of
their academic progress, and a tool for future opportunities; children
treated language as a tool for particular kinds of identities-
5. EXECUTIVE CONTROL
The processes that control and coordinate skills
and habits, allowing
you to choose among tasks, monitor and adjust
your performance,
and change tasks if you need to.
6. IMPORTANT CONCEPTS FOR BILINGUAL
RESULTS.
Response suppression occurs when a new factor is introduced
Inhibitory control is the process of altering one's learned behavioral
responses in a way that makes it easier to complete a particular goal
Cognitive flexibility has been described as the mental ability to switch
between thinking about two different concepts, and to think about
multiple concepts simultaneously
7. COMPONENTS OF EXECUTIVE CONTROL WITH
ADVANTAGES FOR BILINGUAL CHILDREN IN TWO
CULTURES
. The bilingual children in different settings are faster than monolinguals in
conditions based on inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility but there
was no significant difference between groups in response suppression
or on a control condition that did not involve executive control.
Three components of executive control
:1 Response suppression
2. Inhibitory control
3- Cognitive flexibility.
8. RESULTS
These results contribute to understanding the mechanism responsible for
the reported bilingual advantages by identifying the processes that are
modified by bilingualism and establishing the generality of these
findings across bilingual experiences. They also contribute to
theoretical conceptions of the components of executive control and
their development.
Bilingualism is responsible for the enhanced executive control
9. ABSH
By using the best teaching practices and incorporating 21st century skills
with high educational standards, schools create citizens who will have
the skills and attributes to be lifelong learners and future leaders.
Our schools should develop students with integrity, sportsmanship, and
respect for others.
High teacher quality is achieved through sharing, collaboration, and a
comprehensive professional development program.
Service learning creates empathy, a sense of community, national identity
and pride.
