Bilingual education is defined as involving the use of two languages ​​as a means of intrusion (May 2008). It is an educational process that aims to promote and "maintain students' bilingualism and biliteracy in the long term, by adding another language to the student's existing linguistic repertoire, but not subtracting from it" ( May 2008, pp. 19-20). Simply put, bilingual education is the use of more than one language to deliver curriculum content. The Bilingual Education Act (BEA) was signed into law in 1968 by President Lyndon B. Johnson as part of the War on Poverty. This policy expressed the United States' commitment to meeting the needs of the growing number of children in public schools whose native language was not English (Petrzela, 2010). This commitment was expressed when President Johnson signed the bill: Thousands of Latino children, Indian youth, and others will get a better start – a better chance – in school. . . We now give every American child a better chance to reach their furthest limits. . . . We launched a campaign to unlock the full potential of every boy and girl, regardless of race, religion or father's income. (Sanchez, 1973) Bilingual education policy is a political activity filled with historical, social, cultural, and economic contexts (Crawford, 2000; Tolleson and Tsui, 2004). It is linked to legislation, court decisions and executive actions. (Gandara and Gomez, 2009). The BEA arrived at an exceptional period of domestic upheaval, demographic transformation, and in the wake of the civil rights movement. The law created a channel to provide states and local educational districts with funds, personnel assistance, and other incentives for the development of bilingual education programs. federal money in education for space research and language programs. The Soviet launch of Sputniks seemed to overshadow race, religion, state rights, and other issues that had blocked previous attempts (Forrest and Kinser, 2002). One of the great achievements of the era was the passage of the National Defense Education Act, 1958 (NDEA). This law provided assistance to public and private schools at all levels to advance the fields of science, mathematics, and modern foreign languages. The law also provided support for English as a second language programs. According to Forrest and Kinser: The importance of the NDEA lies not in its specific provisions, but in its psychological breakthrough. For the first time in almost a century, the federal government showed interest in the quality of education provided by the public and private sectors. (p. 240)
