Bilingual education programs play a crucial role in preserving minority languages while promoting second language acquisition, especially within migrant communities. These programs encourage intercomprehension and cognitive engagement through the use of an additional language in non-language subjects, a method often referred to as CLIL.
based on the common design in the different languages presented in the school curriculum as well as on the use of an additional language across a non-language subject (CLIL) (Martin-Jones, 2007, p. 165)

CULTURE: Intercultural
awareness , develop intercultural
understanding and global citizenship
COGNITION: Applying knowledge and skills (content) through critical thinking,
problem-solving. Importance of Thinking Skills (Taxonomy).
Students need to be cognitively challenged to be cognitively engaged.
COMMUNICATION: Focus on fluency, not accuracy because, the use of the academic language in interaction is the key in the learning process, language not gradual. As required by content requires.
CONTENT: not only the knowledge and skills of a subject matter but also, any cross-curricular or interdisciplinary topics.
TRANSLANGUAGING: Languages are interconnected and bilinguals use them to adapt to the needs of communication. (García and Wei, 2014)
CLIL
CONCURRENT APPROACH
CLIL: refers to any dual-focused educational programme in which an additional language is used as a medium in the teaching and learning of non-language content.
TWO- WAY IMMERSION: dual language programmes where children of different languages become at least trilingual
DEVELOPMENTAL: offers minority language children lessons in their L1 —home, or native language—. The majority language is included in the curriculum and is taught as a foreign language.
IMMERSION REVITALIZATION: The conservation and progress of minority languages at home or the element that the relationship between different languages being learned must not be competitive but planned with a view to providing an answer to functional requirements. (García, 2009 )
TRANSITIONAL: They are addressed to migrants and their primary objective is using L1 with a vision to facilitating access to L2 or the language of the host country
SUBMERSION: Its main objective is cultural assimilation and monolingualism in the majority language used for lessons
PRESTIGIOUS: Here, students learn through two prestigious languages, which are kept separate during the lessons, and language learning does not incorporate any relation to cultural characteristics
MAINTENANCE: try to preserve the minority language spoken at home during the acquisition process of the majority language.
IMMERSION: Children with the same mother tongue, are with a bilingual teacher, for that reason they can use their mother tongue at first and this one will not be in danger.
