The factors that induce one to utilize an exact language at a fixed timeframe can be examined. Why do people prefer to use one language rather than another, what causes their languages to shift from one to the other, and why do they occasionally prefer to use a language consisting of two different languages by shifting back and forth or even merging them? Such problems are examined in the study by elaborating and addressing the status of bilingualism in a private secondary school of "Classical School of the Medes" precisely in Erbil city, the effects, benefits, and drawbacks. The methodology of this study is qualitative. Data was collected utilizing an interview instrument on the problem inquiry from a sociolinguistic framework. The findings of this study demonstrate that bilingualism has greater benefits and few or no drawbacks for students in private schools, and that English language study in private schools reduces the usage of Kurdish language among society.
