Expansion of Dual Language and Two-way Immersion Program
Dual Language refers to any academic program in which students are taught literacy and content in two languages. Dual language programs promote bilingualism and biliteracy, academic achievement, and increased cultural proficiency.
Two-Way Immersion is a distinctive form of dual language education in which balanced numbers of native English speakers and native speakers of the partner language are integrated for instruction so that both groups of students serve in the role of language model and language learner at different times (CAL).
Students in Two-Way Immersion programs receive 50 percent of their instruction in English and 50 percent of their instruction in another target language. Students alternate their time between English and the target language receiving instruction, in all subjects, in each language. Students develop fluency in a second language while continuing to build literacy in their home language.
Immersion is a distinctive form of dual language education in which students learn all (full immersion) or part (partial immersion) of the core content subjects in the target language.
- In the full immersion programs (Maryvale ES, Sligo Creek ES, and Rock Creek Forest ES), the target language is the only language used in the classroom in Kindergarten through grade three. In grade four, students are given instruction in English twice a week for 45 minutes during the second half of the school year. In grade five, students are given instruction in English for approximately three and a half hours each week. Special subjects, i.e., art, music, and physical education, are conducted in English.
- In the partial immersion programs (Burnt Mills ES, Rolling Terrace ES, College Gardens ES, and Potomac ES), students receive about 50 percent of their instruction in the target language.
