In dual language education programs, students are taught literacy and academic content in English and a partner language. At ACFT our partner language is Spanish. The goals of dual language are for students to develop high levels of language proficiency and literacy in both program languages, to demonstrate high levels of academic achievement, and to develop an appreciation for and an understanding of diverse cultures.
Two-way immersion (TWI) is a distinctive form of dual language education in which balanced numbers of native English speakers and native speakers of Spanish are integrated for instruction so that both groups of students serve in the role of language model and language learner at different times.
