**Title** "Bilingual education in the twenty-first century must be reimagined and expanded as it takes its rightful place as a meaningful way to educate all children and language learners in the world today."(Garcia, O. 2009, p.15). Nowadays, education centers face the situation of shifting from one second language program to a bilingual one in order to improve their students' skills in the target language, as in this case, English. "Nuevo Milenio" private school seems to be ready for making this change after nine years of having classes of English as a foreign language. However, there may be still different difficulties that schools have to consider before making this change. Knowing and being aware of the students' actual English level appears to be a relevant factor because it could determine the success or failure of becoming a bilingual school. The students' adaptation to a different methodology remains as a significant factor since they have to deal with new books, part-time English classes, that is, half of the day practicing subjects in English, shifting from Language one (L1) to Language two (L2) and working with a different culture from the one they were born and raised. Nevertheless, a deep study regarding this issue should be done before making the decision of going bilingual. The purpose of this case study is to show evidence that this particular institution is able to become a Bilingual school. Once the relevant literature has been presented, the hypothesis (if a quantitative study) or research questions (if a qualitative study) explicity state what is to be researched. The hypothesis or research questions related directly to the problem statement articulated in the introduction above.

**Results and Discussion** The results are the findings of your research. The discussion is your conclusion of your findings. Make sure you have a good mix between results and discussion - not too much of one while sacrificing the other. Provide visuals when doing so makes it easier to understand the data (e.g., graphs, tables, etc.).

**References** Follow APA formatting when completing your references section. Alphabetize references according to author or title (when there is no author) and single space between the references themselves but double space between each reference. After the references section, provide an appendix for each item: questionnaire, survey, observation sheet, etc. In your text, say, //(See Appendix A)// - not in italics.
