Abstract

What is bilingual education? Bilingual education is becoming the trend of last decades, but not every parent knows what this word actually means. The essence of bilingual education is the bilingual presentation of school subjects. It is not limited to grammar, vocabulary or just listening cartoons in English. A foreign language becomes a mechanism of cognition, not its purpose. So the subjects like mathematics, biology, physics, art history and foreign literature are taught exclusively in English. Russian language or Mother Tongue is educated in Russian or Mother Tongue class only. However, a number of schools and kindergartens consider themselves to be «bilingual», just teaching kids to English only twice a week. This article provides information about real bilingual education , about its opportunities and obstacles and about development and implementation of intercultural bilingual education.
