Cognitively speaking, bilingualism has witnessed so many challenges and developments in practical and theoretical parts. The aim of this article is to describe and study bilingualism from different perspectives of social, individual, cognitive, psychological and political issues. To this end, this article will go through the following stages: What is Bilingual and Bilingual Education and Cognitive Processing? There are several factors which indicate what kind of decision (selective or nonselective) might be made. These include L2 proficiency, language intermixing, task demands, and instruction. Language intermixing refers to whether an experiment contains exclusively items that belong to one language (block presentation) or items from two languages (mixed presentation). Therefore, (1) lexical codes from different languages are activated in parallel on the basis of an input string; (2) selection of the lexical candidate that is identified appears to take place rather late in the recognition process; and (3) several factors affect the ultimately arising result patterns, the most important of which are a participant's L2 proficiency level, the requirements of task, and the blocked or mixed presentation of items from different languages
