Drawing upon a mixed-methods approach, this study synthesizes quantitative data analysis with qualitative inquiry techniques. Quantitative analysis involves statistical examination of language proficiency levels, language acquisition patterns, and demographic variables among students. Qualitative inquiry comprises interviews, focus groups, and classroom observations to capture nuanced perspectives from educators, students, and administrators.
