I. Bilingual Education: History & Research
|
1) 1)Understands the historical backgroundof bilingual education in the United States.
2)Understands convergent research related to bilingual education. 3)Demonstrates an awareness of global issues and perspectives |
|
Development of U.S. Bilingual Education
|
• Languages other than
English have been both tolerated and suppressed. • Ovando (2003) characterized the historical development of bilingual education in the U.S. – Permissive – Restrictive – Opportunist – Dismissive |
|
The Permissive Period
(1700s-1880s) |
• Before the European arrival, the Americas had a huge
number of indigenous languages. • Both public and private schools had bilingual or non-English instruction. |
|
The Restrictive Period
(1880s-1960s) |
• The number of immigrants increased dramatically
• This led to widespread xenophobia and calls for immigrant assimilation. • An anti-German feeling swept over the country with U.S. entry into World War I. Speaking German was considered “un- American.” • By 1923, 34 state legislatures had passed laws for English only instruction in schools. |
|
The Opportunist Period
(1960s-1980s) |
• 1958: The National Defense and Education
Act promoted foreign language learning in elementary, high schools and universities. •1964: The Civil Rights Act-less negative attitudes towards ethnic groups and their languages. |
|
The Opportunist Period (continued)
1968: The Bilingual Education Act |
(Title VII of the Elementary & Secondary Education Act) provided funding to establish bilingual
education programs for LEP (Limited English Proficient)/NES (Non- English Speaking) students. |
|
The Opportunist Period (continued)
1974: Equal Educational Opportunity |
“No state shall deny equal educational opportunity to an individual on
account of his or her race, color, sex, or national origin, by…the failure of an educational agency to take appropriate action to overcome language barriers that impede equal participation by its students in its instructional programs.” |
|
Lau v. Nichols (1974)
|
• Considered the most important court case related to
bilingual/ESL education. Lawsuit representing 1,800 Chinese students in San Francisco in 1974. • The lawsuit alleged discrimination on the grounds that students could not understand the instruction provided by their English-speaking teachers. |
|
Lau v. Nichols (1974)
|
• Using the 1964 Civil Rights Act as the basis of their decision, the Supreme Court unanimously decided that equal treatment of English-speaking students and English language learners
(ELLs) did not constitute equal educational opportunity, and thus violated the ELLs’ civil rights. Significance: Lau v. Nichols defined the legal responsibility of schools to provide a “meaningful education” for students of limited English proficiency. |
|
Castañeda v. Pickard (1981)
|
Considered the second most important court decision for
bilingual/ESL education, Castañeda v. Pickard was a lawsuit brought against the school district in Raymondville, Texas, on the grounds that ELLs’ civil rights had been violated under the Equal Educational Opportunity Act. |
|
Castañeda v. Pickard (1981)
|
In its decision, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals articulated
guidelines to determine whether schools were providing the “meaningful education” mandated by Lau v. Nichols (1974). • These guidelines became known as the “Castañeda test.” |
|
The “Castañeda Test”
The 3-step test (established by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals) for determining whether school districts were taking “appropriate action” in programs serving ELLs: |
1. Program must be based on sound educational theory.
2. Program must make use of adequate personnel and resources. 3. Program must reflect sound practices and results, not only in language but also in the content areas (math, science, social studies). |
|
The Dismissive Period
(1980s-Present) |
• Political opposition to bilingual education was evident as English only
• 1998: California voters approved Proposition 227, which made English the primary language of instruction and bilingual education programs. • 2002: No Child Left Behind (reauthorization of the ESEA) eliminated references to bilingual education found in Title VII of the previous ESEA. |
|
No Child Left Behind (NCLB), 2002
|
• The focus is promoting English acquisition
and academic achievement in the content areas. • Authorizes programs for students with limited English proficiency (LEP students) under Title III (replacing Title VII). |
|
HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF
BILINGUAL/ESL EDUCATION IN THE UNITED STATES Key Ideas |
The U.S. has a history of multilingualism, and political climate has shaped the country’s reaction to languages other than English.
• Legislative and judicial responses to bilingual education in the U.S. have evolved in reaction to social changes (ex. immigration). • Permissive |
|
HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF
BILINGUAL/ESL EDUCATION IN THE UNITED STATES Key Ideas |
• Major laws related to bilingual education include:
– National Defense and Education Act (1958) – 1964 Civil Rights Act – Bilingual Education Act (1968) – Equal Educational Opportunity Act (1974) – No Child Left Behind (2002) |
|

|
What is the difference between Bilingual and ESL Programs?
|
Bilingual programs:
–provide instruction in both the students‘ native language and the 2nd language –utilize the native language to make content area instruction comprehensiblewhile the child is acquiring the 2nd language –include ESL as an integral component –educate students who share the same native language |
|
What is the difference between Bilingual and ESL Programs?
|
ESL programs:
–use English as the primary language of instruction –utilize ESL methodology and ESL instructional strategies to teach the English language and content. –educate students from multiple language backgrounds |
|
What is the difference between Bilingual and ESL Programs?
|
Both Programs:
1.Include instruction in English language (ESL) 2.Use 2nd language teaching strategies 3.Aim for students to master English 4.Aim for students to master grade-level content and skills 5.TEKS-based instruction |
|
What type of program does a district need? Bilingual or ESL?
|
ESL Program:
•The magic number is 1! •If a district has at least 1LEP student, then the district must provide an ESL program. |
|
What type of program does a district need? Bilingual or ESL?
|
Bilingual Program:
•The magic number is 20! •If a district has 20LEP students who –Have a common native language –Are in the same grade level, district-wide |
|
Bilingual Program Models
|
•Two-Way Immersion (Dual Language) Program
–An Additive Model: The goal of the program is to foster bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural students, both native-English speakers and native-Spanish speakers. |
|
Bilingual Program Models
|
•Developmental (late-exit) Bilingual Education
–A Semi-Additive Model: The goal of the program is to maintain the home language through elementary school while the student acquires English. |
|
Bilingual Program Models
|
•Transitional (early-exit) Bilingual Education
–A Subtractive Model: The goal of the program is to begin the student‘s education in the home language, and the student transitions to all-English instruction ASAP. Home language maintenance is not a goal of this type of program. |
|
ModelsESL Program Models
|
•Pull-Out ESL
–Students leave their English-only classroom to spend part of day with ESL instruction; the least effectivemodel according to research findings. |
|
ModelsESL Program Models
|
ESL as a scheduled class period
–Most often used at the middle school level; a de factopull-out program because ESL takes the place of one of the student‘s electives. |
|
ModelsESL Program Models
|
ESOL (English to Speakers of Other Languages) I and II
–High school ESL courses that consist of the content of English I and II taught using in ESL methods. •Notes: –Immigrant students may substitute ESOL I and II for English I and II on their graduation plan. –These students must also take and pass English III and IV for graduation credit. |
|
English as a Second Language (ESL) Programs
|
Elementary Self-Contained ESL
–ESL students are assigned to an elementary classroom in which the teacher is ESL certified; class may consist entirely of LEP students or may be a mix of LEP students and English-proficient students. |
|
English as a Second Language (ESL) Programs
|
Sheltered English or Content Based ESL
–Both content objectives and language objectives are taught simultaneously through the careful selection of teaching strategies and instructional activities. |
|
English as a Second Language (ESL) Programs
|
Newcomer Programs
–Programs specifically designed to meet the needs of recently-arrived immigrant students; designs vary depending on students‘ needs but usually include intensive immersion in English and sheltered content instruction. |
|
Factors Determining the Nature of a Program on a Campus
|
•Number and home languages of LEP students
•Remedial or enrichment view? •Geographic location of school •Socioculturalenvironment of school and community |
|
SOCIOCULTURAL
ENVIRONMENT Additive vs. Subtractive |
Additive vs. Subtractive
•An additivebilingual environment supports of both languages. –Students add a language to their linguistic repertoire. •A subtractivebilingual environment develops one language at the expense of the other language. –L2 has more prestige than L1. –As skills in the prestigious language are developed, students may begin to lose their home language. |
|
Acculturation
|
•Definition:
a process by which one cultural group takes on and incorporates 1 or more cultural traits of another group, resulting in new or blended cultural patterns •Does not mean the loss of original cultural identity •A person who has undergone acculturation has the ability to interact and function in 2 or more cultural systems. |
|

|
•The capacity to negotiate effectively within 2 different cultural systems
•The person may not allot equal time to both cultures. •Person may understand traits or rituals of one culture, but may not act them out (e.g. religious rituals or family traditions). •Individuals may develop ―a ‗situational ethnicity‘—a range of types of bicultural behavior that vary in their emphasis on minority cultural patterns and majority cultural patterns‖ |
|
Fostering Biculturalism
|
