Introduction: Research in recent years has explored the vocabulary size (lexical breadth) of bilingual children, but less is known about the richness of bilingual word knowledge (lexical depth), and about how knowledge of words in the two languages interact. This longitudinal study investigates the effects of five different program models on both acquisition and maintenance of Spanish by native Spanish-speaking kindergarten children.

However, despite its intuitive appeal, there is not one shred of evidence, to support the SUP model."' up unable to identify fully with either cultural group. that these cues are exclusively him:is:iv in nature. At the other extreme is Oiler's (1978; 1979) claim that, " "...there exists a global language proficiency factor which accounts for, the bulk of the reliable variance in a wide variety of language proficiency, measures" (1978, p. 413). There are countless different roles that culture plays in bilingual education. 4 (Member, 1978), 1,239-1,242.

The potential cognitive, social and linguistic benefits of bilingualism (Bialystok, 1987, 2018) and changes in attitudes in language learning in terms of the role of native speaker norms and tolerance of L1 (Moore, 2017) imply a greater need for bilingual teachers who can facilitate the development of bilingualism in children in school settings. 1177/ 08959 04814 556750).
