In 1984-85, Project CAPABLE was in its final year of a 3-year funding cycle at schools in New York City. The program provided instruction in English as a second language, native language arts, bilingual science, and bilingual social studies to 324 Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese-speaking students of limited English proficiency (LEP) in Grades 9 through 12. Most were recent immigrants. The program operated at four sites: the primary resource at Newton High School; John Bowne High School; William Cullen Bryant High School; and Tottenville High School. The project's overall goal was to help LEP students achieve proficiency in English and thus to prepare them for mainstream classes. In addition, the project was intended to help these students adjust to their new environment and new culture. Findings concerning the implementation of the project were positive; both instructional and non-instructional objectives were met; the school authorities were supportive of the program; both the project director and staff members worked hard to make the program successful; the training of staff members was carried out as planned; the parental involvement project proved to be effective; and instructional materials were adapted and developed.
