There appears to be some steam gathering in the news media's reporting of the increasing popularity of dual language programs. Recent empirical evidence shows that English learning bilinguals in these programs are reclassified to fluent English proficient at slower, but higher, rates than their peers in non-dual language programs. New York City recently announced a push to increase the number of such programs city-wide, and now Prince George's County, Maryland has added 3 new programs. Catholic schools across the country are also moving forward, and attempting to link themselves with one another to promote biliteracy outcomes for an increasingly Latino population. Key going forward is to monitor whether and how these programs function in serving bilingual children who speak home languages other than English, as well as monolingual, minoritized children who are typically underserved in US schools.

I am really amazing by this post because it is provide the best teaching system for all students. A school and a teacher important to make the brilliant student. However English is tough language but if the teacher high educated the they give best plan for English buildings.

If being bilingual will give these kids the edge that they want as parents, so be it! If I am a parent already, I would want my children to grow up knowing a lot of things that will be beneficial for them as they live their lives. Aside from English, it would be ideal to teach kids languages that are also widely used across the world. I am sure that it will connect them to more people that obviously serve as an edge, especially if you are in a marketing world!
