The paper investigates the patterns of bilingual development among language minority students, particularly focusing on the Spanish-speaking population in the United States. It analyzes the shift from native languages to English, exploring both intragenerational and intergenerational language preferences. The research highlights the complexity of bilingualism, including language proficiency, choice, and attitudes, while suggesting avenues for further study to better understand the bilingual development process.
