A record number of schools in Indiana will be receiving grants to establish or expand dual language immersion programs as part of Indiana’s Dual Language Immersion Program.

The program provides grants to school corporations that establish or expand dual language immersion programs in Mandarin, Spanish, French, or other languages approved by the Indiana Department of Education.

The $525,000 grants will be used to begin a new program in Goshen Community Schools and expand the existing programs in South Bend and Mishawaka schools.

Those dual immersion programs begin in either kindergarten or first grade and use an instructional model that provides at least 50% of its instruction in a target language and the remaining percentage of instructional time in English.

Duel? Good idea! Population control? Let ‘em shoot it out! Teach a kid to win a duel and he’ll go through life a winner! Please have a literate write your articles. Try spellcheck!

Technically, he spelled it right… It was just the wrong word that was spelled correctly.
