Bartlett High School ESL / EL & Dual Language

Dual Language Program

What is Dual Language?

• The Dual Language Program is a form of bilingual education in which students are taught literacy and academic content in two languages. It offers a unique opportunity for students to excel academically and learn a second language. Dual language programs foster: bilingualism, bi-literacy, enhanced awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity, and high levels of academic achievement through instruction in two languages.

​

​

Benefits of the Dual Language Program

• Students develop proficiency in two languages.
• Students perform as well as or better than their peers in non-dual language classrooms.
• All students develop a positive sense of self and multicultural competencies.
• Students also develop intercultural and global competence that prepares them to succeed in today’s increasingly competitive global society.

School District U-46 ELL Department Dual Language High School Implementation SY 2020-21

Being multilingual and multi-literate are just as fundamental to a student’s education as is a solid foundation in science, mathematics, and the arts. It is no longer acceptable to regard a second language as an add-on, rather than a core component of a basic education.

-Chris Livaccari (AsiaSociety.org from New Ways of Seeing:  How Multilingualism Opens Our Eyes and Trains Our Minds for a Complex World, March 2017)

Curso Escolar 2020-21
