What is Dual Language Education?
Dual language education integrates language minority and language majority students for academic instruction that is presented separately through two languages. For both groups of students, one of the languages is their native language and one is a second language (although for some students it may be their third or fourth language). Dual language is defined as being a “strong” form of bilingual education, because the goal is for students to leave the program both bilingual and bicultural.
