What is a Dual Language Program or Two-Way Immersion Program?
Two-way immersion programs integrate language minority students (ELs) and language majority students (English speakers) in order to develop their bilingualism and biliteracy in English and another language. In two-way programs, the model selected generally prescribes the amount of time spent in the target (non-English) language. Dual Language Program or Two-Way Immersion Program is one of the instructional delivery approaches under the alternative program. For more information, please visit http://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/el/ip.
