  • Dual Language Education: Answers to Questions from the Field Barbara Kennedy & José Medina, Center for Applied Linguistics
    September 2017 Dual Language Education: Answers to Questions From the Field Barbara Kennedy & José Medina, Center for Applied Linguistics Dual language education refers to programs that provide grade-level content and literacy instruction to all students through two languages—English and a partner lan- guage. In one-way dual language programs, the partner language is the native language of all of the students in the class. In two-way programs, approximately half the stu- dents are native speakers of the partner language and the other half are native speak- ers of English. Dual language programs typically begin in kindergarten or first grade and continue for a minimum of 5 years and have the goals of promoting bilingualism and biliteracy, high levels of academic achievement, and cross-cultural competence. An ideal dual language program would serve students from kindergarten through Grade 12, but the vast majority are implemented in elementary schools. For English learners, dual language programs offer a positive alternative to monolingual English instruction (also known as English immersion) and transi- tional bilingual education, which often do not provide the support English learners need to achieve academically and graduate at the same rates as their English-fluent peers (de Jong, 2014; Genesee, Lindholm-Leary, Saunders, & Christian, 2005; Lind- holm-Leary & Genesee, 2014). English learner participation in dual language educa- tion is associated with improved academic (Valentino & Reardon, 2014), linguistic, and emotional outcomes (Lindholm-Leary & Borsato, 2001). In addition to closing the achievement gap for English learners (Thomas & Collier, 2012), dual language education provides opportunities for all students to gain valuable multilingual and cross-cultural skills that prepare them to thrive in today’s global world.

Languages: Myths It is often the case that resistance to children learning more than one language rests on a set of myths regarding multilingualism and dual language instruction. Some of these are outlined in the table below. Language Learning / Education Myths ON MULTILINGUALISM ON INSTRUCTION • “Learning a language is difficult enough, • “We need to teach English and non- learning two or more languages leads to English speakers English as quickly as interference with neither language being possible to give them the basics they will learned.” need later to learn content.” • “Learning two or more languages • “Support of the native language takes confuses children because they must time away from time which could be operate with two sets of symbols.

Introduction to Dual-Language Immersion Dual Language (DL) programs are relatively new in the United States. After the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) in 1994, a large federal effort related to the education of dual language students was launched. It was at this point that the US Department of Education promoted the development of educational programs whose goal was dual language competency for both language minority students speaking a non-English home language as well as for students whose home language was solely English.

  • French-English Bilingual Programs in New York City's Public Schools Are Growing. the Programs Were Developed
    We need teachers! French-English bilingual programs in New York City’s public schools are growing. The programs were developed not only to serve the French families who had initiated after- school programs, but also to meet the needs of a growing number of diverse Francophone immigrant children who are emergent bilinguals, better known as English Language Learners. Also, more and more non-French-speaking families are signing up for these high quality programs. A true bilingual revolution is taking place in New York's public schools. In order to succeed, French-English bilingual programs in New York require a solid tri-partite partnership –– strong commitment from the schools' leadership, very qualified and dedicated teachers, and ceaseless involvement from the parents at all levels. Schools hosting these programs also benefit from the diversity of the population they serve and the diversity of the teaching staff, able to incorporate linguistic and cultural differences into their pedagogy. This model is also rich in cognitive advancement and beneficial to the brain's executive control functions as neuroscience researchers have come to consensus about. Please circulate these job announcements Thank you Fabrice JAUMONT Education Attaché Embassy of France New York [email protected] Teacher needed for the dual-language program at The Clinton Hill School, PS 20 in Brooklyn The Clinton Hill School, PS 20 in Brooklyn will be opening a French dual language Kindergarten class in September 2013.

Working with the public and pri- Nvate sectors, New Visions develops programs and policies to energize teaching and learning and raise the level of student achievement. The Center for School Success (CSS) at New Visions for Public Schools was founded in 1999 to document and disseminate innovative educational practices demonstrated by New Visions’ schools that hold promise for increas- ing student achievement throughout New York City. Over the first year, CSS concentrated its initial documentation efforts on educational practices of immediate concern to educational reform, both locally and nationally. During the 2000-2001 school year, CSS documented five promising practices at 11 exemplary school sites. The success of these schools should serve as examples that New York City public schools, serving the full range of students in New York City, can work. CSS hopes to continue to identify and disseminate a broad array of practices and relat- ed materials in order to support on-going systemic efforts to reform the New York City public schools and improve the educational opportunities available to the city’s schoolchildren. Dual Language programs, which have grown considerably in the past 15 years, integrate language minority and lan- guage majority students and provide instruction in English as well as a second language, usually the native language of the language minority students.
