bilingual instruction
Dual-language classroom method
Bilingual instruction is teaching that uses two languages, typically a student's native language alongside the dominant language of the school system.
The approach varies: some programs aim to transition students to the majority language, while others maintain both languages throughout education.
The district expanded its bilingual instruction program for Spanish-speaking students.
