LANGUAGE ACQUISITION DEPARTMENT
Middle School Dual Language Model
Bilingual Education Program
Rationale: To provide instruction for cognitive and linguistic development in two languages for mainstream and
English Language Learners with the educational goals of bilingualism, biliteracy, and biculturalism.
Targeted Population: All students who have requested and qualified for a waiver allowing them to participate in a bilingual education program.
Materials: District adopted and supplemental texts in English and in Spanish.
Scope: The Dual Language model will be implemented in every bilingual education school. All bilingual education classrooms will follow this model of instruction.
Curriculum: The Arizona State Standards, English Language Proficiency Standards, and Foreign and Native
Language Standards will be used as the curriculum for the implementation of this program.
Assessment: Student progress in both English and Spanish will be assessed.
Language of Instruction: The language of instruction (50% English or 50% Spanish) will alternate (by day, week quarter or semester or by unit) in the three content areas of math, science and social studies.
Methodologies: Strictly adhere to the designated language of instruction.
When content instruction is in the students’ second language, teachers must shelter instruction to make the lessons comprehensible. While
Preview/Review is an appropriate instructional method, direct translation is not.
