Year: 2001

This report examines the influence that participation in a two-way bilingual elementary program has had on high school students’ attitudes toward school, college, and use of Spanish. Students were categorized into three cohorts–Hispanic Spanish bilinguals (former English language learners), Hispanic English bilinguals (former monolingual English or English dominant speakers), and Euro-American English bilinguals (former monolingual English speakers)–and surveyed about their attitudes and proficiency in Spanish. Results show that most students had positive attitudes toward school and college, the two-way program, and bilingualism. (RR 10).
