Introduction

My goal for this website is to develop and help others better understand if bilingual education is beneficial to learning. The melting pot theory or the salad bowl theory are both something that goes hand in hand with bilingual education. Both, do effect education in some way, shape, or form. In schools favoring the melting pot, students are likely to be immersed into regular classes where they’re taught all their subjects in English. In schools leaning toward the salad bowl, students are more likely to attend classes in their native language while gradually learning English in after-school or tutorial settings. Since the 1960s, research has shown that multiple language skills do not confuse the mind. instead, when the languages are well-developed, they seem to provide cognitive advantages, although such effects are complex and difficult to measure.
