Bilingual-Bicultural Curriculum.
Hermenet, Argelia B.; Valencia, Atilano A.
While bilingual-bicultural education continues to be one of the most significant thrusts in the final decades of the 20th Century and numerous articles are found on this topic, many interested people are still searching for a clear, simple, and acceptable meaning of the term. Perhaps the term can be clearly defined only by a complete and comprehensive treatise on the subject. This paper attempts to state and clarify severalterms found in bilingual-bicultural literature, as well as to provide a more comprehensive view of the topic and a description of selected prospective and practical curriculum models in bilingual-bicultural education. Term definitions include bilingualism, biculturalism, Monolingualism and monoculturalism, language dominance, native language, second language, and bilingual-bicultural education. Three bilingual-bicultural curriculum models are illustrated for monolingual Spanish Speakers, monolingual English speakers, and bilingual speakers (Spanish-English). Implications for designing a practical and comprehensive bilingual-bicultural K-C curriculum model are discussed. The addendum covers: 1) curriculum components related to language development, counseling, instruction, learning materials, communications, in-service training, and evaluations; and 2) samples of ongoing bilingual-bicultural programs.
