Proposal For Action Research Proposal for Action Research What is the problem' The problem that I am planning to research regards the difficulty teachers of bilingual students experience in stimulating their pupils to speak English in the class, rather than their mother-tongue (Dutch). Bilingual education is aimed at better preparing able students for life in a global village, where English is the common language, by teaching them more English and allowing them to follow many other subjects in English. Pupils are taught in English on a daily basis, and perform well on examinations. Even so, they still revert to use of the Dutch language when they speak amongst themselves, but also when reacting to the teaching who questions them in English. Teachers are unable to keep pupils speaking English at all times during classes. Why is this a problem' This creates a problem because the objectives of bilingual education are compromised due to the fact that students do not practice the English language to their full capacity. If student are not better encouraged to practice their use of the English languange, they will not develop fluent speaking skills. This means that they are not that much better prepared for European citizenship than their non-bilingual counterparts.
