- Bilingualism and bilinguality are an integral part of human behavior. This paper, based on a library research, indicated that bilingualism and bilinguality have beneficial impacts on second language learning, cognitive development, and language use in speech community. The first impact was on the second language learning fueled by both integrative and instrumental motivation. The second one was on the learners’ cognitive development. Many research works found that bilingualism and bilinguality improves the learners’ control of their cognitive function, with wider experience and better performance because they operate in two languages, and greater flexibility and greater facility in concept formation. The third impact was on the use of languages in speech communities. In any society, language is seen as a symbol and instrument that usually leads to valorization. Bilingualism and bilinguality might benefit the society with additive bilingualism, or, if not managed carefully, they might lead to subtractive bilingualism and subsequent language death.
