What does the term 'bilingual teacher' imply in the context of bilingual education?

Only English-speaking teachers
Teachers proficient in at least two languages
Teachers who focus solely on reading
Teachers specializing in grammar instruction

The correct answer is: Teachers proficient in at least two languages

In the context of bilingual education, the term 'bilingual teacher' implies teachers who are proficient in at least two languages. This proficiency allows them to effectively teach and communicate with students who are learning in languages other than their native one. Bilingual teachers facilitate the development of language skills in both languages and create a supportive learning environment for students from diverse language backgrounds. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not fully encompass the scope of what a bilingual teacher does in bilingual education. Teachers in bilingual education programs are not limited to only English-speaking teachers, teachers who solely focus on reading, or teachers specializing in grammar instruction. The primary characteristic of a bilingual teacher is the ability to teach and communicate effectively in at least two languages to support the language development and academic success of students in bilingual education programs.
