Abstract
Due to purported academic effectiveness and cultural and linguistic inclusivity, dual language (DL) programs (sometimes referred to as two-way immersion) have seen a rapid increase in Texas and the nation, however, an extensive review of literature indicated that no national or state-wide studies have addressed the issue of cost analysis of dual language programs. Information on funding of effective educational programs for ELLs is vital for all stakeholders, including policy makers and current and future DL program administrators.
