description This research paper is based on the researcher’s assumption that a bilingual child acquires languages simultaneously as influenced by some factors such as the child’s social environment. This includes the family, the media (particularly the television), and significant others (like relatives and friends). With the factors mentioned, this would result to the development of language and cognition. This paper attempts to (1) present the profile of the simultaneous bilingual child; (2) Identify the factors affecting the bilingual child’s acquisition of languages; and (3) Determine the implication of simultaneous bilingualism to the development of language and cognition.
