Bilingual Education versus English Only Models Over the years, many debates have arisen in regards to second language instruction (L2), giving prominence to two main models: English Only versus Bilingual Education. English Only uses solely English as the medium for instruction, whereas Bilingual Education, as its name implies, uses both English and the student’s native language. While there are several aspects to the debate, this paper will briefly cover a certain few: cultural sensitivity, accuracy, and segregation.

However, the one item that I do still have in my possession, as a token of courses taken, is the syllabus from most courses. The syllabus is the one item that acts as a physical proof of the courses that were taken during a 4 year term. The reason that I held onto these slips or packets of paper was because throughout the class they...  [Read more]
