Document Summary
Help both groups gain a second language and become fluent. Transitional bilingual programs fall more under developmental. Speaks one language, trying to transition with both language at first, then transition to one language. Cons- teachers make assumptions about how much of the culture the child is being immersed into, they push too quickly into that culture. Kindergarteners in supportive english immersion (only english) programs have better english oral skills than those in bilingual schools. By 5th grade, english oral skills and literacy skills are equivalent. Dual language programs are more effective than single language programs in helping minority language children learn in schools. Phonological awareness (perceiving sounds/phonemes) and understanding orthography/written languages/writing systems- skill does transfer. Worsening abilities in native language as new language improves. Learning academic language lags behind oral language. Personality/social style (highly sociable and less anxious) Language characteristics-structural similarity between l1 and l2. Both first and second languages are supported.
