Bilingual education

Through creation of a POSTER/INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO OF RECIPE, Katie Chambers and I plan to reflect on the Spanish language and presence of Hispanics in the US that have had existential impact on factors that compose American culture. First, my partner and I will interview a Latinx/Hispanic person within our community and will use elements from our interviewee's life story to inform our cultural artifact. We believe using a POSTER/VIDEO OF RECIPE is the best way to present the information we gain…

as an Encore class. Unfortunately, when Congress felt that children were not getting enough physical activity, this class was cut from schools while adding an extra physical education class (this is how I got the job that I teach today). In 1972, there was an education group named Aspira that fought the “Board of Education of the City of New York” because schools were not providing classes in the native language of minorities…

What role does bilingual education policy have in the educational opportunity structure for English language learners (ELLs)? The study of X Public School District Bilingual program exposed all the deficiencies found in Bilingual education. The study was conducted in a district where the majority of ELLs were Hispanics who performed below the 50th percentile in the NJASK3 and NJASK4 Language Arts Literacy and Mathematics as well as below the 20th percentile in the GEPA and HSPA Language Arts…

to be made to the bilingual education system. I am against the English-only law mainly because it divides our country instead of promoting unity. Many ELL students would feel left out and excluded if the classes were only taught in English. They would have to focus on mastering English and academic content at the same time. This could also cause the students to fall behind in class and leave school (Sadker & Zittleman, 2016, pg 64). The one unrealistic aspect of bilingual education is the amount…

Being bilingual has been proven to be beneficial for many aspects in life to both children and adults. Bilingualism can come through growing up with a base language and through educational years learning another spoken language, for example children who are Hispanic have a Spanish spoken base language but when entering a school in the united states they learn to speak, read, and write English. Some of the many advantages that come with being bilingual is that it has a positive effect on the…

In A Memoir of a Bilingual Childhood Rodriguez talk’s about what can be viewed as “the thing and the other thing.” “The thing” is growing up bilingual. The “other thing” is bilingual schooling and the world’s interaction with bilinguals as children. Although the main chunk of the essay is about Rodriguez’s personal experience, he returns to the subject of bilingual schooling a few times throughout it. His point is to disprove the effectiveness of bilingual education. He uses the bulk of the…

federal government has spent over $100 million to study the effectiveness of bilingual education, only to discover that it is less effective at teaching English than English immersion programs are.” It means that even though the United States fund bilingual education with a tremendous amount of money, the outcome is still not as effective as English immersion programs. In other words, instead of providing bilingual education or environment, it is better for the US government to choose to English…

of English Language Learners (ELLs) has become an increasingly become a debated item in educational practice and policy, in state and local school districts across the country. According to the U.S. Department of Education Institute of Educational Sciences National Center for Education Statistics, in the 2012-2013 school year, there were 4.5 million ELLs in the nation's' public schools, making up for 9.2% of the total student enrollment. In states, the greatest concentrations of ELLs, this…

Being bilingual is a great characteristic to have, however achieving it is not as simple as one would think. For instance, immigrant children from the South who cross the border into the United States with their parents have the opportunity to learn how to speak English when they are enrolled in a school in the United States, and can be put in an academic enrichment program to help improve this skill. However, learning the translated version of the curriculum of a non-bilingual student can be…

Federal and state laws govern the education system in the United States. In Arizona there are current laws that govern English Language Learners (ELLs), specifically Proposition 203, which Arizona voters approved and went into effect in 2001. Proposition 203 changed the law by removing bilingual education and putting the Structured English Immersion models into place instead, (Jost, K. (2009, December 16). Bilingual education vs. English immersion. The CQ Researcher Blog.). According to…
