The goal of transitional bilingual education is to assimilate a child both socially and culturally into the majority language (Baker & Wright, 2021, Chapter 10). ]]> 2022-05-28 17:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrarattiner/sibsw1dx47126ggl/wish/2203060402 alexandrarattiner https://padlet.com/alexandrarattiner/sibsw1dx47126ggl/wish/2203063402 This is a strong for of bilingual education because it does not try to assimilate the child into the majority dominant language. Maintenance bilingual education promotes not only the child's minority language but their associated culture and identity.

It leads to multiculturalism and linguistic diversity (Baker & Wright, 2021, Chapter 10). ]]> 2022-05-28 17:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrarattiner/sibsw1dx47126ggl/wish/2203063402 alexandrarattiner https://padlet.com/alexandrarattiner/sibsw1dx47126ggl/wish/2203065955 Mainstreaming with World language teaching is a weak form of bilingual education. This is because the majority language is used in the classroom with only world language lessons. There is limited language enrichment which leads to limited bilingualism (Baker & Wright, 2021, Chapter 10). ]]> 2022-05-28 18:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrarattiner/sibsw1dx47126ggl/wish/2203065955 alexandrarattiner https://padlet.com/alexandrarattiner/sibsw1dx47126ggl/wish/2203068635 Separatist Education teaching is a weak form of bilingual education. This promotes monolingualism in the minority language in an area where there is another dominant language. It detaches this minority language group from the majority language to have an independent existence. This is usually seen by the language community for it's self-protection and survival and is really seen in schools (Baker & Wright, 2021, Chapter 10). ]]> 2022-05-28 18:07:25 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrarattiner/sibsw1dx47126ggl/wish/2203068635 alexandrarattiner https://padlet.com/alexandrarattiner/sibsw1dx47126ggl/wish/2203088487 Immersion Bilingual education is a strong form of bilingual education. This is because it teachers are trained to provide instruction in the majority language however they modify the curriculum and instruction for students who are not yet proficient in the majority language (Baker & Wright, 2021, Chapter 10).]]> 2022-05-28 18:59:03 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrarattiner/sibsw1dx47126ggl/wish/2203088487 alexandrarattiner https://padlet.com/alexandrarattiner/sibsw1dx47126ggl/wish/2203089786 In this strong form of bilingual education dual language programs have equal numbers of majority and minority language speakers. These students are in the same classroom and both languages are used for instruction. The end goal is to produce balanced bilinguals because of the inclusion of both languages used for instruction and learning in the classroom (Baker & Wright, 2021, Chapter 10). ]]> 2022-05-28 19:02:23 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrarattiner/sibsw1dx47126ggl/wish/2203089786 alexandrarattiner https://padlet.com/alexandrarattiner/sibsw1dx47126ggl/wish/2203091993 Mainstream Bilingual education is a strong form of bilingual education as it jointly uses two or more majority languages in a school.
