Common sense seems to dictate that bilingual education will be good for students to express themselves to peers and form their identities. Many seem to argue that language is a form of self-being and that it should be used freely in schools.

I argue that english should be set as a default language in a professional environment so that students can form community rather than remain separate through language. This makes it easier on teachers, teaches students to adapt to their environments, and overall creates a way for all

While we generally think of cooking to be a skill rather than an art, Babette proves that it is indeed an art and should not be discredited. An art is simply an expression of creativity, generally in a physical form. Babette certainly shows a great level of creative expression, creating a meal which, though foreign to the community, changes their perspective and allows for the reinstatement of spirit within their party. When Babette first comes to Berlevaag she cooks without excess, her food is “as plain as possible” (pg 7) and we are unable to see the artistry she is capable. It is only once Babette spends all of her winnings in the lottery on a glorious feast, however, that we finally are able to understand how talented and passionate she

Moses Maximov Jorge Villalobos English 100 September 22, 2014 Bilingual Education Draft 1 Bilingual education is a term that describes the different kind of educational programs such as English as a Second Language.

However, “the clear conclusion emerging from data sets is that even in two California districts that are considered some of the most successful in teaching English to LEP students, oral proficiency takes 3 to 5 years to develop, and academic English proficiency can take 4 to 7 years. The data from the two school districts in Canada offer corroboration” (Hahta, Butler, Witt. 2000, p. 2) There is a common fallacy that bilingual education or bilingualism will have adverse effects on the learning of the majority language. Cummins (n.d.) states “A finding common to all forms of bilingual education is that spending instructional time through two languages entails no long-term adverse effects on students’ academic development in the majority language. This pattern emerges among both majority and minority language students, across widely varying sociolinguistic and sociopolitical contexts, and in programs with very different organizational structures”
