Two-Way Dual Language

Immersion Program

The two-way dual language immersion program is a bilingual/biliteracy program model in which native Spanish speakers are integrated with native English speakers and receive instruction in Spanish and English.

Purpose/Goal

The goal of a two-way dual language immersion is for participants to attain bilingualism and biliteracy in English and Spanish.
