	Multilingual - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coordinate and compound bilinguals are reported to have a higher cognitive proficiency, and are found to be better L2-learners at a later age, than monolinguals.
		Receptive bilingualism can occur when a child realizes that they are dominant in a community language over the native language of their parents, and choose to speak to their parents only in the community language.
		Canada is officially bilingual under the Official Languages Act and the Constitution of Canada that require the federal government to deliver services in both official languages.

	Bilingual Education
		Certain critics of bilingual education have interpreted the NRC report to mean that, despite a generation of research, "there is no evidence that there will be long-term advantages or disadvantages to teaching limited-English students in the native language" (Glenn 1997).
		Bilingualism is a valuable skill, for individuals and for the country.
		Bilingual education was adopted by many local school districts in the 1960s and 1970s to remedy practices that had denied language minorities an equal educational opportunity.

		Media articles on bilingual education have tended to be overwhelmingly negative in their assessment of the merits of bilingual programs.
		Bilingual education, by itself, is not a panacea for students’ underachievement.
		Bilingual instruction can make a significant contribution (as Jay Greene’s meta-analysis outlined below suggests) but the predominant model of bilingual education (quick-exit transitional programs) is inferior to programs that aim to develop bilingualism and biliteracy, such as developmental (late-exit) and two-way bilingual immersion (dual-language).

		Bilingual children's exposure to their languages can also differ greatly, as, for example, if the child is learning one language from a parent who works at home and the other from a parent who works outside the home.
		Bilingual children acquire the same proficiency in the phonological and grammatical aspects of their two languages as monolingual children do in their one language, provided they are given regular and substantial exposure to each.
		If bilingual children are acquiring such languages and they have not had full exposure to one or both of them, then they may not have acquired the ability to express these meanings or they may not be proficient in certain social situations.

	Bilingual
		If there is any special virtue to bilingual education, or immersion education for that matter, such virtue lies in the openness of the specific form of education to alternatives to the "banking model," alternatives that transform the behavioral propensities or the constructed worlds of the students in question.
		One of the most important pieces of information about the efficacy of bilingual education is the graph illustrating Thomas and Collier's research, a long-term study of various types of education as it addressed the needs of limited-English-ability students.
		Bilingual researchers also report that students who are allowed to use their primary language in the classroom learn English faster than students who were in English-only classrooms.

		Bilingual education forces children of certain ethnic backgrounds to attend classes in the native language of their ancestors, for basic subject learning - instead of being totally immersed in English - - with all subject matter taught in English.
		Bilingual education has resulted in the waste of billions of dollars and held back the education of millions of children.
		Bilingual education was initiated by Congress in 1967 when there was not a scrap of evidence that it would work at all or be beneficial to the children: Bilingual education was born 30 years ago from a goodhearted but vague impulse by Congress to help Spanish speakers learn English.

	Swedish in Finland — Virtual Finland
		But in order for a bilingual municipality to become unilingual, the number of people speaking the minority language has to drop to 6% or less of the total inhabitants of the municipality.
		The majority of Swedish-speaking Finns live in bilingual municipalities, which means in practice that many of them live in an environment which is heavily influenced by Finnish.
		It is good that so many children from bilingual families are sent to Swedish schools, but it is impossible to say how they will feel about Swedish as a component of their identity once they are adults and perhaps marry a Finnish speaker.

		In addition to the connections between the two lexicons, bilingual memory is thought to be composed of a conceptual store (bottom part of Figure 1).
		Although the bilingual model depicted in Figure 1 explains most of the bilingual memory findings in both interlanguage translations and semantic priming (see Kroll 1993, for a complete review), new evidence challenges some of the major assumptions of the hierarchical model.
		Notice that this R-2 version avoids the problem of having one memory structure for non-fluent bilinguals and another memory structure for fully-fluent/more fluent bilinguals as in the case of Altarriba (1992) and Heredia (1995).

	Bilingual conversations (kottke.org)
		Once concious case of bilingual code switching that I grew up with was when my grandmother would talk to her friends on the telephone.
		Codeswitching, as I recall, is the highest level of bilingualism, where the speaker is completely fluent in multiple languages, including in their thoughts, and effortlessly mixes languages as an accomplished painter mixes colors on her palette to achieve the desired self-expression.
		Being bilingual or multilingual is a huge advantage in having the vocabulary to describe a wider range of concepts and ideas that may not even have appropriate words to articulate these fully in one language.

		The new release of "Bilingual" is an absolute must have because of the inclusion of a second disc of B sides and remixes.
		"Bilingual" is also a vastly underrated album that sounds better now than it did on first release; I hope the same thing will be said for their more recent "Nightlife", but "Bilingual" now sounds as creatively vibrant as "Nightlife" sounds exhausted.
