Bilingual education is an educational approach that teaches students two languages at the same time. This can be done in a variety of ways, such as through immersion, dual language or two-way immersion programs, and there are many benefits to it. A two-way immersion program is a form of dual language education which balances the number of native English speakers and native speakers of the partner language. Language is integrated for instruction so that both groups of students serve in the role of language model and language learner at different times.
