The aim is to decrease the use of the home language so that students can use more of the majority language. In other words, these programs aim for majority language monolingualism (Baker & Wright, 2021, p. 461-463).]]> 2022-10-13 22:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/wrig0494/xpcx73stkxzh88ft/wish/2339493702 wrig0494 https://padlet.com/wrig0494/xpcx73stkxzh88ft/wish/2339494341 In one-way DLBE programs, all students share the same background. These programs not only aim to nurture bilingualism and biliteracy, but to promote inter-group communicative competence and cultural awareness. Students from these programs tend to be more tolerant, respectful, sensitive, and equalized in status due to authentic, meaningful communication between children from two different language groups (Baker & Wright, 2021, p. 484).]]> 2022-10-13 22:55:43 UTC https://padlet.com/wrig0494/xpcx73stkxzh88ft/wish/2339494341 wrig0494 https://padlet.com/wrig0494/xpcx73stkxzh88ft/wish/2339494531 In two-way DLBE programs, there is an equal number of language minority and language majority students in the same classroom. Both languages from both groups are used for instruction (Baker & Wright, 2021, p. 478). Using both languages for instruction sets the students up to become relatively balanced bilinguals. Additionally, in these programs, a non-English language is used for 50% of instruction, only one language is used at a time, language is primarily learned through content, and there is a balanced number of English speakers and non-English speakers (Baker & Wright, 2021, p. 481). If there is an imbalance of group numbers, it is preferable to have more non-English speakers so as to compliment the corresponding representation of the majority language outside of school (Baker & Wright, 2021, p. 481).]]> 2022-10-13 22:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/wrig0494/xpcx73stkxzh88ft/wish/2339494531
