Perspectives in Bilingual Education 

 

ABSTRACT: 

Bilingual Education has been extensively discussed in the English language teaching field in Brazil among professionals and the general public. That demands a deeper understanding of the concept and its perspectives. In this presentation, participants will be exposed to myths and research that have informed the bilingual education scenario and broaden their repertoire of the subject to impact future discussions and the experience of their learners in their own contexts.
