Core to the dual language movement of the 90s and early 2000s, Drs. Wayne Thomas and Virginia Collier helped to silence the critics and inform leaders and policymakers of the design and implementation of effective DLE.  This episode’s guests discuss the importance of longitudinal research and compare expected academic and linguistic outcomes of different bilingual and non-bilingual programs for emerging bilingual students.  The Thomas/Collier Graph is discussed and demonstrated in Part 1 of this two-part podcast episode.
