6 Bilingual teachers DO Teach academic cntent in English and ne ther language (e.g., Spanish, Chinese). Have separate instructinal times fr the use f the tw languages f instructin. Develp academic and linguistic cmpetence in tw languages. DO NOT Teach mstly in English then translate n the side fr students learning English as a secnd language. Engage in mment-tmment translatin f English lessns int anther language. Aim t develp academic and linguistic cmpetence in English nly.

7 What types f prgrams exist fr students learning English as a secnd language (ELs)? Mnlingual Instructin = instructin in ne language nly (English) Nte: Sme Mnlingual English prgrams hire bilingual instructinal aides wh use English learners native languages in an attempt t make the certified teacher s mnlingual English instructin cmprehensible. Bilingual Instructin = instructin in tw languages: English + ne minrity language, e.g., Chinese r Spanish In these prgrams, the teacher f recrd is a credentialed bilingual teacher

8 Mnlingual English Prgrams fr ELs: Prgram Types Target Students Prgram Language & Culture Gals fr ELs Mainstream (als knwn as English-Only, full immersin, r sink-r-swim ) Native (L1) English speakers Full transitin t mnlingual English use Linguistic and cultural assimilatin Structured English Immersin (an English-Only prgram which in 1997, as part f Prpsitin 227, which was selected by Califrnia vters* as the prgram delivery mdel fr secnd language learners) Nn-Native English speakers (ELs / L2 Eng. Students) may be frm different language grups Full transitin t mnlingual English use Linguistic and cultural assimilatin Pull-ut English as a Secnd Language (ELs are taken ut f the mainstream class fr n minutes/week fr ESL classes) Nn-Native English speakers (ELs) may be frm different language grups Mnlingual English literacy fr academic purpses Linguistic and cultural acculturatin English Language Develpment (ne class perid/day r a self-cntained classrm) Nn-Native English speakers (ELs) may be frm different language grups Mnlingual English literacy fr academic purpses linguistic and cultural acculturatin Specially Designated Academic Instructin in English (SDAIE) (als knwn as sheltered English, r Cntent-based English as a Secnd Language instructin ) Nn-Native English speakers (ELs) may be frm different language grups Mnlingual English literacy fr academic purpses Linguistic and cultural acculturatin *Nte that it is unusual fr vters t select instructinal mdels fr students. Typically these are chsen by educatrs using the best available research. Assimilatin: Replacing the native language and culture with majrity language and culture.

10 Research Findings Studies have cmpared the academic achievement f EL students receiving different types f services, and have had similar results. One f the largest quantitative studies is by Cllier & Thmas, (1997) Laurie Olsen (2010) summarizes the Cllier & Thmas study findings in the fllwing graph. The graph shws English Language Arts standardized achievement f ELs frm Grades 1-12, disaggregated by prgram mdel. Many ther studies have had similar results.

12 In sum The mre ELs have access t quality L1 instructin alngside quality English instructin, the mre likely it will be that they will experience academic grwth (in this case, in English Language Arts) as measured by English language standardized assessments.

13 What is the Bilingual Authrizatin? The Bilingual Authrizatin replaces Califrnia s ld Bilingual Crsscultural Language and Academic Develpment (BCLAD) credential. The Bilingual Authrizatin allws yu t teach in Transitinal, Maintenance, r Dual Language Immersin classrms. Many principals with SDAIE and ELD prgrams als seek teachers with Bilingual Authrizatins t staff thse prgrams. The Bilingual Authrizatin may be added n t a Califrnia Multiple Subject, Single Subject, r Educatin Specialist Credential. Elementary Dual Language Immersin prgrams are increasingly ppular. At this time there are n lnger bilingual Special Educatin classrms in CA. There are a handful f secndary bilingual prgrams in CA. Mst f the rare secndary prgrams in existence ffer bilingual instructin in Language Arts and Scial Sciences. Almst nne ffer Math, Science, r ther subjects bilingually
