Abstract
Dual language immersion (DLI) programs provide content and language instruction in both English and a partner language, including Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, French, and many other languages. DLI programs support native English speakers as they develop proficiency in the partner language and English learners (ELs) as they develop proficiency in English and the partner language, which may also be their home language. DLI programs vary in structure and implementation, but they typically start in kindergarten or first grade, and many continue into middle and high school.
