Abstract
This research proposal is important because studies show that bilingual students are more likely to achieve at an expected level when they feel supported. According to the department of children, schools, and families, inclusive practice is important so that all children and families receive equitable services and have opportunities to participate and feel a sense of belonging within the setting (Foundation Years, 2022). It is not just beneficial for the individual but for the school's overall achievement. Helps everyone in the classroom feel safe and valued and promotes diversity and a better learning environment. It also creates a positive home-school environment, for example, between parents and teachers.

[...] Permission from the headteacher is needed to get access to school. Parents can be also gatekeepers because permission is needed to interview their children. The ethical practice has advantages such as participants will gain trust, the process may be simple and there is less hassle. However, sometimes it can be difficult to get parents' and children's consent. A disadvantage is that if it gets repetitive it may annoy the participants and maybe time-consuming for them. It can also encourage the aims of the research as well promoting moral and social values. [...]
[...] Recommendations for future study: There are not enough studies that are related to children up to Year most were on secondary school-aged and adults, and not many on the effects of bilingualism on children's learning. More research is needed to determine how teachers can better support bilingual students in the classroom. Currently, there are only studies that have been carried out internationally and fewer in the UK. Policy reform, teacher development, and more research focused on the voice of the isolated bilingual child are all recommendations that should be made. [...]
[...] Advantages include that it encourages discussion as it is more open-minded - and free to ask questions. Flexibility, in which the interviewer can ask any questions related to the subject and change the setting. The disadvantage is the sample size can be a problem and biased in sample selection meaning, rather than a group of people with different opinions, the people you choose to participate may all have the same viewpoint on the topic matter, which is more helpful, especially if they are arguing with opposing views during focus groups.

[...] Teachers must demonstrate respect, appreciation, and honour for the child's native language. Teachers can ask the students to teach some words in their native language and phrases such as hello and good-bye will be enjoyed by the children as they teach them to their teachers. Teachers can encourage parents to come in and contribute songs from their culture, making language learning more culturally enjoyable. Teachers can include the child's native foods into their cooking abilities. Pictures, gestures, pantomimes, and props are beneficial to learn the meaning of new English words. [...]
