7. Gómez & Gómez DLE Model
MISSION STATEMENT:
DLTI is committed to the belief, as evidenced through extensive research, that successful Dual Language Learner achievement is largely based on the extent and quality of native language instruction(L1).
The number one predictor for long-term academic achievement in English is the extent and quality of L1 schooling found in dual language programs.
Para el logro académico a largo plazo en inglés se debe a la cantidad y calidad de instrucción en español que se encuentra en programas de lenguaje dual.
