Abstract :
The technological innovations during the past century have revolutionized information transfer leading to cross- cultural and multi-lingual human communication. Considering the importance of multilingual education in the recent century, the current study documented a survey on Iranian students' perception of bilingual education. A total number of 161 English language learners participated in this study. The participants were asked to fill in the questionnaire and considering age and gender as the variables of this study, the results revealed that there was no significant difference between males and females with regard to their attitudes toward bilingualism. However, a significant relationship was found between participants' age ranges and their attitudes towards bilingualism. In other words, as the learners’ age increased the participants' attitudes towards bilingualism became more positive. The findings of this study would be useful for material developers and curriculum designers.
