There is an article on NPR’s website entitled ‘How Should We Teach English-Language Learners?‘ that presents a basic overview of the tough climate in which schools find themselves, specifically with the disparate camps between dual-language programs and the ‘sink or swim’ method that plunks students in English-only environments. They actually interviewed a Nebraskan educator, et al. I don’t claim to know the answer to what the title poses, though I am in favor of dual-language education…the problem with those is the second language is usually Spanish, which doesn’t satisfy the countless tongues our citizens speak. The only thing I can supply is a push for outside programming, e.g. nosotros at El Centro and our Family Literacy Pilot Project, in which we collaborated with Lincoln Public Schools and the Lincoln Literacy Council, a trinity of organizations whose combined foci of Education, Literacy and Español provided outreach for ten Lincoln families and their children. Thanks to all who contributed and we wish the best for future projects.
