THE INTEGRATION OF BILINGUAL EDUCATION AND METACOGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT: A FRAMEWORK FOR ENHANCED LEARNING OUTCOMES

Abstract

This article explores the integration of bilingual education and metacognitive development within the educational framework of Interclass School, a pioneering institution committed to fostering multilingual proficiency and cognitive empowerment. Drawing on theoretical insights and practical applications, the article examines the symbiotic relationship between bilingualism and metacognition in promoting enhanced learning outcomes. Through a comprehensive analysis of pedagogical strategies and empirical evidence, the article highlights the transformative impact of bilingual education combined with metacognitive approaches on student academic achievement, cognitive flexibility, and socio-cultural competence. By elucidating the theoretical underpinnings and practical implications of this integrated approach, the article offers valuable insights for educators, researchers, and policymakers seeking to optimize educational practices in diverse linguistic and cultural contexts.
