Models of Bilingual Instruction

Prior knowledge has been shown to be an integral part of learning new material and this holds true for not only content but language as well. Many benefits have been identified as a result of bilingualism yet true bilingual education is relatively new in the United States. Because of the diversity present in today’s classrooms and the ever-changing educational atmosphere educators must be knowledgeable of the fundamental characteristics of bilingual education and its advantages for students. Create a 7-10 slide digital presentation that could be used to inform school administrators about the different bilingual models of instruction for English language learners (ELLs) including developmental two-way and maintenance. This presentation will also be used to advocate for the implementation of a model best suited for your particular area or district. Your presentation should include: Definitions of each model with explanations of when each is most appropriate. Rationale for why your model of choice would be most beneficial for your classroom or district based on demographics. Visual and text appeal that considers audience. Support your position with 3-5 scholarly resources. Include a title slide research citations and speaker notes below each content-related slide that represent and expand upon content as if giving the presentation in person. Ensure the speaker notes include 50-75 words per slide.
