Cognitive language development • The ability to think flexibly and abstractly about language • The abilities of language originality and creativity in two languages
Learning environment and method • Providing supportive and comfortable learning environments • Play-based learning
Recommendation 1 • Make an English – Spanish class to target Hispanic immigrants and give a 10% discount on its tuition fees • Implement Play-based learning instead of only workbook or lectures
Recommendation 2 • Hire an advertising agency and use statistics to show that bilingual education can greatly enhance language skills in the media • Make the homepage on the internet and show several video clips which can show a whole lesson
