The official Language Movement

The official language movement

The first article I found called "Arguments for and against bilingual education," states a few of the pros and cons to bilingual teaching. Bilingual education is very costly, however, is very important because some people do not speak English and if they do not speak English they cannot understand what is taught to them. Government implemented programs designed to help immigrants assimilate into the American ways do the opposite and bilingual people earn less.

The second article I found called "Different types of bi- or multilingual education," talks about bilingual education, submersion, and immersion. It also states how students are in a classroom part of the day speaking their language and in English-speaking classrooms the other half of the day. Each student being responsible for what they have learned in the each class.

I found the article, "Hispanic-Americans: an under-represented group in American politics," to be very interesting. It states how there are no Hispanic votes and how Hispanics are the most diverse group of people in the United States.

The last article I found called, "Bilingualism = A Divided America," states how Americans that do not speak English do not really have to because they can do everything that English speaking Americans do without speaking a word of English. It speaks of how places offer interpreters in every language and that everyone pays for it in our healthcare and other costs.
