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.}, pages = {132--139}, title = {New Approaches to Bilingual Education: A Pilot Program in a Japanese University}, volume = {4}, year = {2018} }
