Discussing the pros and cons of ESL programs
Topics: ESL programs, pros, cons, bilingual education
This report describes an evaluation of Project Information Packages (PIPs), sets of manuals and other materials intended to help a school district adopt and implement an exemplary education project. Four PIPs were evaluated in a field test, each PIP describing a different bilingual project. It was concluded that the awareness materials produced few applications for PIPs. Field-test sites that received PIPs tended not to follow PIP guidelines closely, but to adapt them extensively, often with...

Few studies provide insight into how California principals perceive Proposition 227 and its impact on bilingual education. The findings of a survey distributed to 100 randomly selected California principals with bilingual programs, indicate the law passed by California voters has not changed the perceptions of California principals towards bilingual education.

Three bilingual program evaluations in foreign countries are described in terms of their different contexts and approaches in order to raise issues about bilingual education program evaluation. The programs evaluated were the St. Lambert French immersion program in Canada, the Yoruba 6-year...

Evaluations of bilingual education programs have received criticism from many sources. This criticism has been partially due to difficulties in obtaining hard data in bilingual settings, such as the lack of test instruments for bilingual children, the lack of appropriate reference groups, and the deficiencies of traditional evaluation models. The special problems involved in evaluating bilingual programs are described along with emerging solutions. Major problems have been encountered with the...

In 1918, Texas, along with many other states, enacted statutes that made the speaking of any language other than English on public school grounds illegal. These laws remained active until the US Congress passed the Bilingual Education Act in 1968. Through personal interviews with distinguished leaders and educators -- all native Spanish/English-speakers -- "When I Dream Dreams" explores the complex psychological and social effects of these laws by relating the experiences of these...

The entrenched nature of affirmative action, immigration, and bilingual education programs shows that ethnic minorities as well as powerful economic interests can benefit from client politics (H. D. Graham, 2002). In recent years, ballot initiatives have pierced the cocoon of legislative support for these policies and overturned them in California and several other states, leading scholars to debate whether direct democracy is a threat to minority rights. This paper is a study of four recent...

The political and educational rationales for bilingual education in the United States and the implications of transitional and maintenance programs are examined.

The provisions of the 1968 Bilingual Education Act, the revised Act of 1974, the Lau versus Nichols decision, and the Lau regulations are described. The underlying...

This paper discusses the education of Mexican-American students along the Mexico-United States border. A brief review of historical and cultural perspectives suggests that the Mexican population in the border area continues to increase because the area is culturally and linguistically accomodating. Schools that teach the dominant Anglo culture fail in providing equal educational opportunities to students whose cultural and linguistic backgrounds are different. Mexican-American students along...

The growing number of Puerto Rican return migrants (those who return to Puerto Rico after having lived in the United States mainland for several years) face sociological, psychological, and linguistic and social adaptation problems. To meet these students' linguistic needs, the Puerto Rican Department of Education has developed several bilingual education programs. Some studies indicate that, compared to non-migrant students, return migrant students are more poorly adjusted to school, lack...

As a result, the majority of ESL students neither earn a...

This digest provides a history of American bilingual education in Spanish from the late 1950's onward, to help educators serve Mexican American students.

Successful programs in Florida, Texas, New Mexico, and California led to increased...

Bilingual education teaches English to children and at the same time, they are taught core subjects like math and science. The facts show that bilingual education is a small investment that pays big dividends for the country in the form of a well educated work force. This article focuses on three areas: historical basis for Texas funding for its bilingual and English as a second language (ESL) programs, the evolution of funding formulae for the program, and current issues related to funding for...

The validity of the consensus paradigm dominant in sociolinguistics is questioned. Social scientists working in this paradigm take the perspective of society as an aggregate operating through agreement between its constituent elements, working to the benefit of the aggregate. The best-known of the consensus-oriented theories is structural-functionalism (S-F), which sees society as a system of mutually supportive institutions where each institution contributes to the system as a whole,...

The 1968 booklet, a report by the National Advisory Committee on Mexican American Education, contains a brief description of the problems facing more than 5 million Mexican Americans in our society. According to the report, the failure of education has been the failure to recognize the needs of Mexican American students; this is evidenced by their high dropout rate. The report also notes that, because of the language barrier and the lack of suitable instruments to test the intelligence and the...

In many schools throughout the United States, teachers are baffled by the child who does not know enough English to participate in the classroom, who "just sits there." In some localities the language he hears and speaks at home is an American Indian tongue; in others it is Spanish or Italian or Polish. The Choctaw Bilingual Education Program has concentrated its attention on four Oklahoma schools, in the old Choctaw Nation, where this problem is acute. With the cooperation of...
