This presentation will discuss the language, literacy, and social development of DL/EL children in Pre-K through grade 3 who are enrolled in dual language vs. English mainstream classrooms. Topics will include the language and literacy development in the home language and English, social development of young bilinguals, and implications for dual language programs for young children.
I have worked for 30 years with two-way/dual language programs. I look at student outcomes as well as parent engagement and teacher knowledge and practices.
