* English as a New Language (ENL): ENL program students learn to speak, understand, read and write English with a teacher who is specially trained in ENL theories and strategies. The student’s primary or home language is used as a vehicle to help learn English.

* Transitional Bilingual Education (TBE) Program: TBE programs offer students of the same primary or home language the opportunity to learn in English while continuing to learn content in their home language. Students’ primary or home language is used to help them progress academically in all content areas while they acquire English. Instruction begins with a minimum of 60% instruction in the student’s primary or home language and 40% in English; over time, instruction in English increases until the student has acquired the mandated level of English proficiency.

* One Way or Two Way Dual Language Program: Dual language programs offer students the opportunity to become bilingual and bicultural while improving their academic ability. In the One Way Dual Language program model, students who come from the same primary or home language and/or background are provided instruction in both English and the home language simultaneously. The Two Way Dual Language program includes both native and English speakers; teachers provide instruction in both languages.
