Bilingualism: Its Relationships With Intelligence and Academic Achievement

The quest for excellence in teaching and learning within the school milieu, has revealed among other

things, that information pertaining to areas of bilingualism and intelligence in the country are highly

inadequate. Thus, it is hoped that this book will contribute to the addition of knowledge in the field of

bilingualism in this country. Hopefully, the research findings could contribute towards the formulations

of a plan of action by policy makers, curriculum planners and language educators, as it would provide

valuable input for them in improving our current language education practices, especially as the

country’s educational system is embracing the information technology era.

At the pedagogical level, this book can also provide useful input to language educators, or school

teachers, in utilizing more effective teaching strategies and methods to produce students who are

competent in more than one language.
