Abstract | The interview was organized around several major themes: the basic understanding of a dual language program (Spanish and English) and what it does for students, including things such as how students are accepted into the program and the track they are on; the class of Nicole Lansdale how and the positive and negatives that come with having a mixed class; her views on how dual language classes benefit children, their families, and the Chapel Hill, N.C. and Carrboro, N.C. community as a whole; and the problems with the dual language classrooms and possible solutions to improve the system. This interview was done as part of a series to learn more and understand the opportunities that are available for immigrants and the children of immigrants in Chapel Hill, N.C. It was meant to focus on the overarching theme of how dual language classrooms can help students in the transition into schools where they will not only have to begin learning, but begin learning in a language that is completely unfamiliar to them. |
