Dual Language Immersion at SCVi

Dual language immersion refers to teaching and learning in two languages. Learners enrolled in SCVi’s dual language immersion program, now serving grades K-5, are taught 50 percent of the instructional time in Spanish by a native Spanish-speaking facilitator and 50 percent of the instructional time in English by an English-speaking facilitator.

Learners share the same curriculum and project-based opportunities as their peers and have exposure to the same state standards while receiving instruction in both languages. The Spanish and English-speaking teachers collaborate on teaching all subject material.

The benefits of dual language immersion:

• More than 40 years of research consistently documents the power of language immersion programs to help learners attain high levels of second-language proficiency.
• No other type of instruction, short of living in a second-language environment, is as successful.
• Young children especially thrive in this type of instructional environment.
