Program Implementation
The TEA Emergent Bilingual Support Division is continuously developing program implementation resources for Local Education Agencies (LEAs) to utilize in providing effective bilingual education and English as a second language (ESL) programs for emergent bilingual students that meet and exceed state requirements.
In Texas, there are six state-approved program models that can be implemented to support emergent bilingual students.
Dual Language Immersion One Way
A bilingual/biliteracy program model in which students identified as
emergent bilingual students are served in both English and another language and are
prepared to meet reclassification criteria in order to be successful in English-only
instruction not earlier than six or later than seven
years after the student enrolls in school.
Dual Language Immersion Two Way
A bilingual/biliteracy program model in which students identified as emergent bilingual
students are integrated with students proficient in English and are served in both
English and another language and are prepared to meet reclassification criteria in
order to be successful in English-only instruction not earlier than six or later than
seven years after the student enrolls in school.
