Secondary Dual Language Immersion:
Materials Development & Research


This initiative will support the increase in secondary DLI programs by developing a repository of content-and-language integrated teaching materials; conducting design-based research on the creation of these materials; and offering workshops for immersion teacher educators at Minority-Serving Institutions (MSI).

Initiative Background

    This initiative will help dual language immersion (DLI) teachers implement content-and-language integrated curriculum and instruction in the classroom. The initiative will include the creation of three Spanish curricular units for use in secondary DLI classrooms; design-based research on the creation and use of these materials; and professional development through workshops and a CARLA summer institute that focuses on secondary immersion continuation programs.
