In general, a bilingual class is made up of children who speak a non-dominant language (usually Spanish). They are taught in their native language and transitioned to English. The objective is to get them into an English speaking class as soon as possible. A dual-immersion program values both languages and the objective is to develop bilingual and biliterate students. Generally, a dual-immersion program will have native speakers in both languages.
