Two Languages Are Better Than One.
Thomas, Wayne P.; Collier, Virginia P.
Educational Leadership, v55 n4 p23-26 Dec-Jan 1997-1998
Instead of viewing English learners as a problem needing remediation, educators should build an enriched bilingual program for all students. In successful two-way programs, both language groups stay together throughout the school day, serving as peer tutors for each other. After five or six years, English learners can demonstrate English and native-language proficiency and outperform monolingual students on academic tests. (13 references) (MLH)
