Supporters of bilingual education point out that: ________. Select all that apply.

bilingual education students score higher on standardized tests
foreign-born students can learn English while studying other subjects
it allows students to integrate into the American educational system
foreign-born students do not need to transition into English classes

Answer 1

the answer is A, B, C.

Answer 2

The correct answer is - bilingual education students score higher on standardized tests.

The students that participate in a bilingual education, after multiple researches were conducted, showed that they perform better on the standardized tests than the students that learn only one language.

One of the reasons that contributes to this is that by learning more languages the brain's ability to memorize slightly improves, as well as the concentration levels of the person. That has been shown in lot of studies, so the supporters of the bilingual education use it as the prime argument for the introduction of this type of education.
