Implications of Achievements and Defects of Singapore's Bilingual Education for Bilingual Instruction in China

Singapore's bilingual education has achieved a great success in fostering high-qualified personals,facilitating the development of Singapore's economy and promoting its national identity,but meanwhile there exist some defects: its mother language being on the fall,its subdividing policy on language education implemented at early stage of language-acquisition having evident side-effects,and its own national culture being disappearing.So the implications we got from it are: bilingual instruction in China should be based on both its teachers' and students' levels;such relationship as mother tongue acquisition and foreign language learning,language learning and major learning should be appropriately dealt with;in addition,good teaching staff forging and favorable language environment creation are equally important.
