subtractive view of bilingualism
For people who take the view that bilingualism is subtractive, a student’s first language is regarded as ‘interfering’ with the learning of a second language such as English and is actively discouraged. The time (and effort) spent using the first language is regarded as subtracting from the possibility of achieving good levels of proficiency in the second language and in school learning. If one language, such as English, is regarded in the wider society as the only one worth knowing, then the ability to use, or even maintain, another language is inevitably diminished, as is the potential for bilingualism. When this happens, a ‘subtractive bilingual context’ develops. This approach, however, ignores the key principle of language interdependence and consequently is the least successful educationally for bilingual students.
