Abstract | Frances Hoch, now a retiree and volunteer at the North Carolina Museum of History, served with the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction for twenty-four years. She also taught Spanish at Greensboro College and High Point University. In this interview, she uses her vast experience and knowledge to explain the evolution of bilingual education in North Carolina. She enumerates the various approaches that have been used for “world language” instruction, both for native and non-native English speakers. She specifically discusses the rise of two-way immersion programs, the opposition that these programs have overcome and sometimes still face, and the benefits of these programs for students and communities. |
