Description

This research study examined if implementing a One-Way Dual Language Education Program resulted in positive outcomes on the reading performance of Latinx bilinguals as indicated by the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) standardized assessment. It investigated the impact the one-way DLE program may have on BLs reading assessment scores compared to other ELs in Texas. The study found that bilingual students in the dataset demonstrated a positive trajectory in the mean scale scores as they progressed through elementary grades. The results provide a significant contribution to research supporting the effectiveness of DLE programs for Latinx bilingual learners.
