Abstract
It is imperative that the education of the growing Hispanic population with limited
English proficiency be recognized when creating curriculum and support in the
classroom. Because in the United States students enter the educational setting with varied
literacy in both first language and second language, a tutor can address individual needs
and assist in raising literacy levels by facilitating learning on a one-to-one basis. A 3 x 2
mixed design was used to measure the effectiveness of bilingual language instruction in
three programs: English immersion, bilingual education, and bilingual education with a
tutor. It was predicted that students in a bilingual education program with a tutor would
maintain and improve their native and English language skills as compared to their
bilingual education counterparts.
