Abstract EN
This study examines the impact of a bilingual approach on the academic performance and classroom involvement/participation of level 1 English as a foreign language (EFL) reading comprehension students.
Fifty female Saudi EFL students participated in the study.
A reading comprehension test, classroom observation, and interviews served as data collection methods.
The researcher used an independent samples t-test to analyze the test scores, and thematic content analyses to analyze the interviews and observation.
The results show that bilingualism as a teaching strategy positively affects learners' academic performance, classroom participation, and involvement.
The study also indicates that most participants perceived bilingualism as a useful teaching strategy to raise their exam scores.
Recommendations for teaching EFL beginners, as well as for language learning and further research, were presented
