The ability to use two or more languages fluently in speaking and writing is an important cognitive and cultural advantage in a world of growing linguistic and cultural diversity. In an educational context, bilingualism is associated with the development of analytical and critical thinking skills, cognitive flexibility, and broadening of horizons. Bilingual students also often demonstrate excellent problem-solving skills and openness to a multicultural society, which prepares them to integrate into a diverse society. Supportive educational programs strengthen the student’s cultural identity and protect them from linguistic or cultural alienation.
