A debate: should teachers in a Transitional Bilingual Education setting teach their classes simultaneously in the home language and English on a daily basis? This is a common practice. It is not supported by the research and theory behind bilingual education and is different than translanguaging–which typically acknowledges students’ bilingual repertoire. But, I think we need to consider as a part of the reality of bilingual education in NY schools today.
I did hear a bilingual program director comment last week that everytime she walked into a bilingual classroom all she heard was English. This is the danger with the 2 languages all the time approach. It devolves into English with assistance in Spanish, and does not provide sufficient support for developing academic skills in home language.
