COLLECTION & ANALYSIS• Questionnaire

• Pre-post oral test

• Interviewing the stakeholders

• SPSS & observation

Reflection

• Different background of student, different L1 & cultures

• One result has been a great expansion of bilingual education to provide for the educational needs of students with limited proficiency in English.(PPSMI-MBMMBI)

• To better understand programming needs, some clarification of terms is necessary—clarification that can lead to far more effective instructional methods.

Cont…

• In language learning, students should be encouraged to use their previous experiences with oral and written language to develop their second language and to promote their growth to literacy (Au and Jordan 1981; Hudelson 1986, Edelsky 1986; Cummins and Swain 1986; Enright and McCloskey 1988).

• Students bring to school cultural identities, knowledge, and experiences that should be awarded by instructional practices rather than replaced or forgotten as learning takes place (Cummins 1986; Heath 1983; Jordan 1985; Moll and Diaz 1987).

Cont…

• It is also acknowledged that it is impossible to totally separate language and culture. Consequently, the term bilingual education includes the concept of bicultural education (Ovando and Collier 1985).

cont…

• Therefore, [Bilingual education is a] new way of conceiving the entire range of education especially for the non-English child just entering school.

• Bilingual learning necessitates rethinking the entire curriculum in terms of a child's best instruments for learning, of his readiness for learning various subjects, and his own identity and potential for growth and development.
