Bilingual education started in the 1960s to encourage bilingualism and multilingualism in predominately Western countries, but significant parts of its pedagogical underpinnings can be adopted for use in Japan. This paper highlights the efforts of Otemae University's language and content classes to incorporate a bilingual approach to improve student learning outcomes through an emphasis on culture and language. Results from a qualitative survey indicate broad levels of student agreement and support, with emphasis found on an improvement in English fluency and critical thinking skills. This preliminary study provides a platform for further research into bilingualism and course design.
