It’s about to get easier to become a bilingual teacher in Vietnamese, Korean, Mandarin and other Asian languages in California. ⤵️
The program pools resources at 10 California State University campuses to allow students enrolled at any campus in the consortium to take classes at the other campuses to receive their bilingual authorization. A bilingual authorization allows teachers to teach English language development to students who are learning English, and to teach primary instruction in a language other than English.
The funding will also help pay stipends to professors who have low numbers of students in their classes because for summer classes, professors are often paid per student enrolled.Nikki Dominguez, policy director for the nonprofit organization Asian Americans Advancing Justice – Los Angeles, which advocated for the funding, said having more bilingual educators in Asian languages will help increase language proficiency both in those languages and in English.
“We don’t want to wait until those incidents of hate and violence happen but really look at how we can invest in prevention, and one of the ways we can do that is dual-language programs. We know, and research has shown, that this is a very effective way to create more understanding and appreciation across ethnic groups,” Dominguez said.
