Stephen Krashen is one of the best known people who have a well thought-out and very detailed

http://www.sdkrashen.com/SL_Acquisition_and_Learning/index.html

He believes (and I think he's right) that students learning a second language, who will be expected to succeed academically in that language, follow a clear acquisition path. The timing may change somewhat from one person to the next, but the stages of acquisition of the new language are essentially the same.

He also believes that while children and teenagers are learning English, they should also be taught math, science, history, etc., in their primary language so that they do not fall far behind academically.

Read his work carefully. He's brilliant.

(Politics? I don't know.)

Thank you so much. Ms. Sue, I have used plenty of your advice on this site (and am currently holding a 3.3 GPA). I never search for the answer, just how to find it. Your responses on this site have been very much appreciated.

You're very welcome. Be sure to read the site recommended by Writeacher. She has experience in bilingual education.

Congratulations on your 3.3 GPA. Keep up the good work!

I understand that finding credible sources on a specific topic can be challenging, especially when you have a looming deadline. Here are a few steps you can take to find sources about bilingual education and bilingualism in politics:

1. Use academic search engines: Start by using academic search engines such as Google Scholar, JSTOR, or PubMed. These platforms provide access to scholarly articles and research papers on various subjects, including education and politics. Enter relevant keywords, such as "bilingual education pros and cons" or "bilingualism in politics," to find sources specifically related to your topics.

2. Access online library databases: Many universities and public libraries provide access to online databases that contain a wide range of academic sources. Check if your institution's library website has resources like ProQuest, EBSCOhost, or LexisNexis. These databases can offer a wealth of information including articles, books, and reports related to your topics.

3. Look for reputable organizations: Visit the websites of reputable organizations that focus on education and politics. These organizations often publish reports, studies, and policy papers on relevant issues. Examples include UNESCO, National Education Association (NEA), Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL), and Pew Research Center. Explore their publications or search their sites using relevant keywords.

4. Check government websites: Government websites, both at the national and local levels, often contain valuable information on policies, research studies, and reports related to bilingual education and political bilingualism. Look for education departments or language-related committees within the government websites of your country or specific regions.

5. Consult academic journals and articles: Scholarly journals are excellent sources of well-researched articles by experts in the field. Look for journals focused on education, linguistics, or political science. You can find relevant journals by searching on databases like JSTOR or by visiting the website of relevant academic associations such as TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) or the American Political Science Association (APSA).

Remember, always evaluate the credibility and reliability of your sources by checking the author's credentials, publication date, peer-review status, and the sources used within the article.

Additionally, if your student website is down, consider reaching out to your professor, classmates, or school library for alternative resources and possible deadline extensions.
