The Student Perspective
 
 
 

Main Points of Our Discussion:

  • Bilingualism is something many Latino young adults take pride in, and hope to use their Spanish skills in the future

 

  • Views on bilingual education differed between different students, but most agreed that English immersion was not necessarily a better option

 

  • Preserving Spanish culture and traditions through language was very important to these young adults, and most spoke Spanish with their parents. However, the majority of the students spoke English with their friends and siblings.
