Chapter 8 discusses bilingualism and its place within the education system.

Discuss any personal experiences you have with learning in either a bilingual or foreign language environment (not your birth language). If you do not have any personal experiences to share, reflect on how you would have enjoyed or been challenged learning in a two-way bilingual education environment.
Be sure to read others’ posts and respond to at least two posts by adding clarification, asking questions, or adding constructively to the discussion. To guide your responses, consider the following questions:
Why do you agree or disagree with the examples your peers gave?
What patterns have you noticed between others’ posts?
Please note: Replying with “Good answer!” or “I agree!” is not acceptable. You need to engage in the discussion and ask questions or provide other ideas for thought in your response(s).
