Abstract
Bilingualism; the ability of understanding and speaking two languages, is a very interesting but complex topic. Consequently, speaking of bilingual education means finding various pedagogical theories and methodologies for practical usage. In this article there can be found a few studies made by some well known researchers in pedagogy, psychology, linguistics (Baker, 2007; Bialystock, 2006; Titone, 1993; Deshays, 2003) and a confrontation between their different ideas. The article is based most of all on the types of bilingual education, confronting them with each other, finding their deficiencies and their values, and finally finding the best among those typologies. Conclusively, the authors try to find out the most suitable type of bilingual education for the istrian territory, which has been bilingual for centuries.
