This 7-minute video from the Multilingual Learning Toolkit highlights key strategies for a balanced approach to dual language development. It demonstrates how bilingual programs that provide sufficient exposure to both languages lead to greater success for students. The video outlines a model for achieving balance, including assigning one teacher to each language, scheduling dedicated English and Spanish (in this context) learning circles, and establishing fixed language designations for teachers. The video emphasizes that while bilingualism has many benefits, students will not develop proficiency in a second language unless they are exposed to a well-structured, balanced approach. This resource offers valuable insights for educators and leaders looking to implement or strengthen bilingual programs in their districts, ensuring that students receive the necessary support to thrive in both languages.
