Brief study outlines issues to consider when developing a bilingual education program. Targets

• bilingual education and second language proficiency
• degrees of bilingualism
• lexical borrowing and phonic interference, and
• implications for bilingual education.

Is based on author's work among Mayan speakers in Guatemala. Is useful for program and curriculum developers as well as bilingual education teachers. Notes problems to anticipate in bilingual education programs, but strongly backs the need for bilingual education in emerging nations.
