Abstract

The programs described in this chapter are “bilingual�? or “dual language�? in the sense that two different languages-English as well as the native language of the studentsare used for instructional purposes. Such programs have been established at a number of colleges and universities in the United States to meet the needs of a d u l t students who (a) are academically ready to begin a college/university education but who (b) are still in the process of learning English. Some of these students are recent immigrants and refugees; others are “international�? or “foreign�? students studying in the United States on temporary student visas.
