Dual-language program has success–and limits – Elgin, Illinois
Tagged: dual-language, Illinois, parents, teacher
Elgin 1st grader Isabella Pierce spends the first 90 minutes of her school day learning vocabulary words in her native English, writing in a journal and working on calendar lessons.
Then she and her classmates at an Elgin elementary school switch rooms, teachers and languages. They repeat their lessons, this time in Spanish, while another group of 1st graders, who started the day learning in Spanish, switches to English.
The two classrooms participate in an innovative dual-language program at Channing Elementary School in Elgin-based Unit District 46. More than 200 of Channing’s 580 pupils are enrolled in the program, which has proven popular with them and their parents.”*
