Abstract
-
The Dual Language Program is designed to serve not only English Language Learners (ELLs) but also students aspiring to achieve bilingualism and biliteracy, thereby enriching their cultural backgrounds. To accomplish this goal, it is imperative to learn, understand, and effectively apply the three foundational pillars of the Dual Language Program. This initiative proposes the organization of an event that ensures alignment of these pillars in its planning and design, thereby providing students with meaningful activities that facilitate their engagement with the core tenets of the program.
This project critically examines and highlights the significance of each pillar and explores their practical application within the classroom setting. The strategic selection of bilingual texts is essential in promoting bilingualism, literacy, and respect for students’ first languages, while also fostering translanguaging practices. Moreover, it is vital to be intentional in selecting educational materials that enhance access to high levels of academic achievement and recognize the multicultural backgrounds of each student.
Ultimately, the creation of this event serves as a demonstration of how the alignment of the three pillars within a cohesive framework can lead to meaningful learning experiences for students, thereby establishing a lasting legacy at Grant Community School.
