The goal is to quickly shift the students from their minority language to the majority language. Assimilation occurs as the students only use their native language in the classroom for a few short years and then are expected to solely use the majority language, (Baker & Wright, 2021, p.218)

- Mainstreaming with World Language Teaching: This leads to very few students becoming bilingual. The majority language is mainly used in the classroom with some minority language, (Baker & Wright, 2021, p.220)

- Separatist: This program type uses only the minority language, sometimes out of student choice. The purpose of this program is usually to keep certain languages alive, (Baker & Wright, 2021, p. 221)

These forms of instruction may use two languages in the classroom but do not have the end goal of bilingualism. Assimilation to the majority language usually occurs, (Baker & Wright, 2021, p.218).]]> 2022-10-11 15:24:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kwia0212/ny2vybco97j0m790/wish/2335506002 Narrative of Strong Forms of Bilingual Education kwia0212 https://padlet.com/kwia0212/ny2vybco97j0m790/wish/2335506808 Strong forms of bilingual education focuses on aspects like: striving for educational equity, affirming identities, promoting additive bilingualism and structuring for integration (Baker & Wright, 2021, p. 212). ]]> 2022-10-11 15:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kwia0212/ny2vybco97j0m790/wish/2335506808 Examples of Strong Forms of Bilingual Education kwia0212 https://padlet.com/kwia0212/ny2vybco97j0m790/wish/2335507126 - Maintenance/ Heritage Language: Both languages (L1 and L2) are used in the classroom for this program type. The end goal is bilingualism and biliteracy, (Baker & Wright, 2021, p.210).

- Immersion: This program type also uses both the L1 and L2 in the classroom with putting more emphasis, even in the beginning on the L2. The end goal is also bilingualism and biliteracy, (Baker & Wright, 2021, p. 210).

- Two-way/dual language: Both the minority and majority language are used in this program type equally. The end goal is also bilingualism and biliteracy, (Baker & Wright, 2021, p.210).

- Mainstream Bilingual: This program type involves language majority students and uses two majority languages in the classroom. It also has the end goal of biliteracy and bilingualism, (Baker & Wright, 2021, p. 210).
