    (2024-06) Mrs Abla HAMRIT Mrs Dalel OMRI
    This study investigates teachers’ and parents perceptions of the impact of simultaneous English and French instruction on the cognitive and educational outcomes of pupils in Algerian primary schools, specifically focusing on third and fourth levels in M'sila. Grounded in the Critical Period Hypothesis, Threshold Hypothesis, and Interdependence Hypothesis, the research explores how early bilingual education can enhance cognitive functions such as executive function, metalinguistic awareness, and cognitive flexibility. Additionally, the study examines the teachers’ and parents' perceptions about the effect of bilingual education on pupils lingually, cognitively, emotionally, and academically. Empirical data is collected through a mixed-methods approach, incorporating surveys and interviews. This research contributes to the broader discourse on bilingual education by offering evidence-based recommendations for policymakers and educators to optimize language education strategies in multilingual contexts. Ultimately, the study seeks to enhance the educational practices in Algeria, promoting linguistic proficiency and cognitive development among young learners.
