S. and Canada, then to examine the effectiveness of these programs in order to gain insights which may aid enhance the quality of the English Education in Korea. Research findings of bilingual education show that though not all bilingual education models are equally successful, a valid amount of research evidence prove that a well-organized program is an effective way to teach a new language rather than merely treating a 'language as a second/foreign language.'
