6. Rationale for Dual Language/ Immersion Programs • Research shows the Dual Language programs can close the achievement gap for English Language Learners (ELL’s). • Dual Language programs satisfy the legal requirement of providing bilingual instruction for ELL’s. • Dual Language programs provide the opportunity for native English speaking students to become bilingual. • Students who participate in early language instruction have a greater opportunity to become proficient or fluent in their second language.
