What are the six instructional options for teaching students who are bilingual as outlined in Chapter 3?

The six instructional options for teaching bilingual students are transitional programs, maintenance (developmental) programs, enrichment programs, immersion programs, English as a second language (ESL) programs, and sheltered English programs.

Chapter 3 outlines six instructional options for teaching bilingual students. Transitional programs focus on using the student's native language for instruction until they are proficient enough in English to transition to all-English classes. Maintenance programs emphasize maintaining proficiency in the student's first language while also learning English, with a long-term approach. Enrichment programs introduce monolingual children to a new language and culture. Immersion programs use English exclusively for instruction, without incorporating the student's first language or culture. ESL programs focus on developing English proficiency outside the regular classroom, often without using the native language. Sheltered English programs provide instruction in academic subjects in English, with modifications to ensure comprehension, without maintaining the first language.
