This case study is about a twelve year old, Hispanic student who was a former, third grade student of the researcher.

What is Bilingualism? Bilingualism is commonly defined as the use of at least two languages by an individual (ASHA, 2004). It is a fluctuating system in children and adults whereby use of and proficiency in two languages may change depending on the opportunities to use the languages and exposure to other users of the languages. It is a dynamic and fluid process across a number of domains, including experience, tasks, topics, and time. A person that is considered bilingual has the ability to speak, write, listen, and read two languages fluently.
One of many languages American citizens is considering should be included in the United States educational curriculum is Spanish. Spanish is the second most popular language spoken in residents throughout the United States other than English. From the age of five and older accordingly to the United States Census Bureau of 2007 (Shin, 2010) the United States has over 280 million residents and 55 million residents speaks Spanish along with English. This amount is a huge significant amount of people who speaks Spanish when compared to over 300 million plus people living in the United States.
The effects of bilingualism on language development in children are examined. Theories suggest that bilingual children are able to learn a second language after the first is mastered. One of the reasons behind this is that the child has already developed the nonverbal concept of the word (because the child is already using it in the primary language), so only the verbal concept must be constructed. It has been shown that balanced bilinguals are more cognitively and linguistically flexible. However, unbalanced bilinguals generally show mixed results.
At the high school that I attended while I was living in the United States of America, students only had to take two years of a foreign language. Two years is not a lot, most people cannot become exceptionally close to fluent in a language over just two years. What I noticed throughout high school was that students would rather not learn the language and just decided to suffer through the class and receive a low grade at the end. When I moved to America in eleventh grade, I was fluent in two languages and I also knew quite a bit of Spanish. If students would start to learn a foreign language in elementary school they will be so little that they will not realize that they actually have to do work, and it is also easier for children at a low age to learn to speak different languages.
English language learners (ELLs) are not segregated from their peers. (Thomas & Collier, 1997) and ( Lindholm-Leary, 2000) • Another form of Bilingual Education is a type of Dual Language program that has students study in two different ways: • 1) A variety of academic subjects are taught in the students' second language, with specially trained bilingual teachers who can understand students when they ask questions in their native language, but always answer in the second language. • 2) Native language literacy classes improve students' writing and higher-order language skills in their
