Dual Language Immersion Programmes

The U.S. Department of Education, under former Secretary Miguel Cardona, developed four playbooks to guide educators in establishing and sustaining dual-language immersion programmes.

These programmes, typically spanning kindergarten through 5th grade, integrate academic content with bilingual instruction, commonly in English and Spanish, Mandarin, or French.

Cardona's initiative aimed to promote multilingualism and improve support for English learners nationwide.
