Considering Two-Way Bilingual Programs.

Genesee, Fred

Equity and Choice, v3 n3 p3-7 Spr 1987

Describes the San Diego (CA) two-way bilingual program which puts English and Spanish-speaking students together to learn each others' languages. Program results in a lag in English language literacy after early years, but that difference is made up within one year of English language instruction. (PS)
