bilingual curriculum
Dual-language teaching plan
A bilingual curriculum delivers instruction in two languages, typically a student's native language alongside a second language they're learning.
The goal varies by program—some aim to transition students to the dominant language, while others develop fluency in both: The school's bilingual curriculum teaches math in Spanish and science in English.
