A dual language learner is a student whose first language is not English. Typically they are being taught in a language other than their primary language.
Dual language learning generally starts in kindergarten or first grade, extends for at least five years, and may continue into middle school and high school.
When teaching a dual language learner it is important to build comprehensive literacy and fluency in more than one language.
According to the US Department of Education, dual language educational programs are a type of bilingual education in which students are taught literacy and content in two languages.
Research shows teaching a student in both languages enhances language development, fosters bilingualism, and builds literacy proficiency.
When considering a dual language online tool for your district or school, it is important to ensure the program offers monolingual instruction, where only one language is taught at a time.
