Bilingual Education
Of our nation’s 5.1 million English learners, 75% are of a Spanish-speaking background, and 65% are born in the U.S. (pg. 3).
Bilingual Research Results
A significant level of fluency in social uses of second language can be achieved in two to three years. Second language used in academic schooling and testing contexts requires at least seven years or more to develop to the level of a native speaker (Cummins 1996, 2000).

Dual Language Research
Dual language education continues to accelerate student’s growth with more than one year’s progress each year, leading to full achievement gap closure and long term success in English
