Program Design Project

Imagine that you are working with a group of parents, teachers and/or community members who
seek to establish a bilingual education program in a local school or community site. Your task is
to design a bilingual program and persuade the school or governing board to adopt it. Keeping in
mind Garcas argument that bilingual program designs reflect the aspirations and resources of
particular societies, start by considering the situational factors – the needs of the imagined local
community of your choice (e.g., demographic, linguistic, socioeconomic, sociocultural, and
political factors) and present a proposal to operationalize a bilingual language program to meet
desired outcomes (e.g., linguistic, academic, and cultural goals). Refer to Garca, Ch. 7, for
situational, operational, and outcome factors to help guide you.
The final project:

6 page paper that could be submitted to your imagined audience. The
paper should include evidence to support your proposed design. It should
include charts or other data representations, as well as narrative evidence, such as quotes
from research studies, to back up your claims. The paper should be in 12-point font, 1
margins, double-spaced, and followed by a Reference or Works Cited list (using APA or
MLA format). At least three of your six references should be
scholarly journal articles from your own research outside of course content.

Your paper or video should include the following components:

1. An introduction to the situational factors in the local school context (geographical
location and demographics; language majority/minority groups; initial linguistic position
of children; existing educational programs);

2. A statement of the language, literacy and cultural goals (outcome factors) for the new
program;

3. The rationale for the proposed program model (e.g., theoretical framework, see Garca,
Ch. 6; goals; type of bilingual education). Include a brief review of 2 successful bilingual
programs that you have learned about through class readings, your own research, or
through the global group presentations. Explain why you believe that these programs are
relevant for the local context and goals and provide evidence to support your claims in
the form of relevant theories AND/OR research findings.

4. Describe a proposed new bilingual program model for consideration that innovates on
or replicates one of the successful models described above. Be sure to address the
following operational factors:

a. How will the languages be allocated (e.g., language arrangement, models of
bilingual/biliteracy pedagogy)? Why?

b. How will families be involved? What community resources might be used?

c. What are requirements for teachers and staff at your proposed site? How will
you recruit and/or prepare teachers? How will you make sure teachers have
sufficient support and time to collaborate?
