The phrase "bilingual education" has multiple definitions:
- education designed to help children become bilingual (sometimes called "two-way bilingual education"; e.g., Spanish speakers and English speakers in a classroom are all taught to speak both languages;
- education in a child's native language for no more than three years to for content areas to ensure that while students are learning English, they do not fall behind in content areas like math, science, and social studies. All bilingual education that uses a child's native language as an instructional tool includes instruction in English, and no bilingual model has instruction in a child's native language for an unlimited time period. The goal is to help students transition to mainstream, English-only classrooms.
Examples across the world

French_immersionUnited States
Bilingual education has multiple forms in the United States. Many parents have begun enrolling their preschool aged English-speaking children in "immersion" programs so that they will learn another languages (primarily Spanish) in addition to their own . Other bilingual education in the U.S. focuses on learners of English as a second language.According to the U.S. Department of Education website a bilingual education program is “an educational program for limited English proficient students”. Furthermore, the term ‘limited English proficient’, when used with respect to an individual, means an individual whose primary language is other than English and whose difficulties in speaking, reading, writing, or understanding the English language may be sufficient to deny the individual the ability to successfully achieve in classrooms where the language of instruction is English or the opportunity to participate fully in society.
