DUAL-LANGUAGE PROGRAM
What is the Dual Language Program?
The Dual Language Program offers a unique opportunity for middle school students to learn in both English and Mandarin. In the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), this program integrates two languages into the curriculum, helping students develop proficiency in both languages while mastering grade-level academic content.
How Does it Work?
Teachers use specialized methods to ensure that instruction is accessible and engaging, teaching both language skills and subject content simultaneously. At El Sereno Middle School & Magnet Center, students participate in two periods of target language instruction (Spanish). This includes daily classes in Spanish history and Advanced Spanish, ensuring that students not only strengthen their language abilities but also gain a deep understanding of important academic subjects.
This immersive approach helps students become bilingual, bicultural, and better prepared for global opportunities.
