Until the French Canadian Immersion program was studied at St. Lambert in Montreal, Canada, it had been often assumed that bilingual education was unable to develop both communicative competence and support literacy development in a target language. However, since the experiment involving the French Immersion Program (a French and English bilingual education program), a number of schools and countries have not only identified immersion education as a better and more effective bilingual program in this century, but also commonly accept or modify it for their bilingual education contexts. This innovation reflects a belief that speaking more than one language is possible and more easily achievable in childhood. Therefore, it is assumed that this thesis is able to provide advice to language policy makers working at government level as well as educators for the Korean context, regarding the knowledge of bilingualism and bilingual education development and effective practices for bilingual education programs through both literature review and empirical study.
