  • Sonal,

    (Part III of my reply)

    There are many serious other issues associated with bilingual education including parental choice, the pool of qualified bilingual education teachers, job/career preparation as well as the economics/politics of what services school districts should be expected to provide to immigrants (legal or illegal). One of the national experts on bilingual education is Ofelia Garcia. You may want to do a search for some of her work.

  • Dr. Picciano, thank you for the information. I chose to listen to your video since I'm gathering some information for my research paper for a Foundations of Bilingual Education class. I had one question. Could you compare and the transitional bilingual education model to a Two-way bil. ed. model? Please provide me some brief notes upon which I could expound. thank you for your informative video. -Sonal

  • There are a number of models/variations for bilingual education instruction. The transitional model starts instruction in the home language and tries to "transition" the student to English instruction only. This may take several semesters or more. The two-way model provides instruction in both the home language as well as English. There is no goal to move the student to English only instruction.

    Best of Luck!!

    With the two-way model, it is expected that students will maintain/attain fluency in both languages. With the transition model there is a concern that students will lose fluency in their home language.
