  2. Bilingual Education: • Any use of two languages in school – by teachers or students or both • Today’s bilingual education means approaches in the classroom that use the native languages of English language learners (ELLs) for instruction. Goals include: • teaching English • academic achievement • acculturating to new society • preserving linguistic and cultural heritage • enabling English speakers to learn a second language • developing national language resources

  3. Bilingual Education Act (1968) • Mandate schools to provide bilingual education programs. • The Bilingual Program was a federally funded program. • All programs required to give language minority students "full access to the learning environment, the curriculum, special services and assessment in a meaningful way“. • According to the Bilingual Education Act referring to the terms limited 'English proficiency' and 'limited English proficient: A) individuals who were not born in the U.S. or whose native language is a language other than English; B) individuals who come from environments where a language other than English is dominant; and C) individuals who are American Indian or Alaska Natives and who come from environments where a language other than English has had a significant impact on their level of English language proficiency; and who, by reason thereof, have sufficient difficulty speaking, reading, writing, or understanding the English language.

  4. Why Is BilingualEducation Controversial? • Bilingualism threatens to sap our sense of national identity and divide us along ethnic lines. • Initiatives in California, Arizona, and Massachusetts mandating all-English instruction for most children until they become fully proficient in English. • Ethnic stereotypes or class biases

  5. In Class: • Classrooms may be entirely English Language Learns, or they may include native English speakers who are learning Spanishor other languages. • Students are sometimes taught a full curriculum in their native language and in English. Elsewhere ELLs may receive only native-language support – periodic translations or tutoring – with lessons conducted primarily in English.
