Abstract

Dual language education programs have become increasingly popular among elementary schools across the country. These programs are touted to represent a promise of a more equitable education for children whose parents are immigrants or whose first languages are not English. Nonetheless, these programs are also known to have appeal to monolingual English speaking families who would like their children to learn another language. Schools across the United States are starting dual language programs and recruiting teachers that have credentials to teach in these newly developed classes. However, less attention has been paid to how parents and teachers react when a new bilingual program is implemented in their schools and classrooms. In this article, we address the perceptions of teachers and parents in a newly established dual language program where the majority of students were of Brazilian origin and spoke Portuguese.
