Mainstreaming/ Submersion

Transitional Bilingual Education

  • Mainstreaming: Language minority students will be taught all day in the majority language, alongside fluent majority students.

  • Structured Immersion: Contains only language minority children, but conducted in the majority language.

  • Static
  • Developmental (Enrichment Bilingual Education)
  • Cultural Pluralism & Liguistic Diversity

Typical type of child: Language majority

  • Language minority children are taken out for "compensatory lessons.

  • Sheltered English or SDAIE
  • Why teaching a foreign language went from an increase of 9% in 1999 to a decrease of 6% in 2009? (hint: history of bilingual ed.)

Language of the classroom: Majority language (L2/FL lessons)

  • 2009: 6% fewer elementary schools were teaching a foreign language (the previous survey shows an increase of 9%)
  • Middle schools offering foreign language went from 75% to 58%
  • High schools have remained at 91%

Societal and educational aim: Limited enrichment

  • Why did high schools remain at 91%?

Aim in language outcome: Limited bilingualism

  • Who had to take a foreign language in high school? Which ones? Are you fluent in that language because of those courses?

Outcome: Monolingualism

Outcome: Relative Monolingualism &

Limited Bilingualism

  • Canadians found that 12 years for French “drip-feed” did not help English speakers communicate fluently with French Canadians. The same thing happened with five years Spanish, German and French in the UK.
  • However, learning English as a second language in other parts of the world has been successful because of personal motivation, status of language is high and when economic and vocational circumstances encourage the acquisition of a trading language.

Strong Forms of Bilingual Education:

Separatist

Segregationist Education

  • Immersion
  • Maintenance Heritage Language
  • Two-Way/Dual Language
  • Mainstream Bilingual
  • Aims for minority language monolingualism and monoculturalism

  • Minority language speakers are denied access to attend schools by majority language speakers.
  • Do not learn enough the

power language.

  • Forces monolingual language policy on the relatively

powerless.

  • Secessionist Movement: language minority detaches itself from majority to pursue independence
  • Organized by language community for its survival and self-protection.
  • Unlikely for a school system to use this type
  • Isolationist religious schools
  • Disconnects and withdraws children from a wider world.
