“In our research findings, the program with the highest long-term academic success is the two-way dual language education.” [page 52]

“Students who receive at least five to six years of dual language schooling in the U.S. reach the 50th NCE/percentile in English by fifth to eighth grade and maintain that level of performance because they have not lost any years of schooling.” [page 83]

Multilingualism
[revised 8/26/2010]

We need to renew our efforts so that every American citizen can become multilingual in every aspect of the word. The more individuals that can speak more than two languages and understand the cultural variances between languages, the more we can become a country that avoids cultural and linguistic misunderstandings.

Our theme: Multilingualism - A Cultural Renaissance. The early Californio students were learning four languages in school! [Stanley A. Lucero] I found this quote by Jose Jesus Lopez in the book SAGA OF RANCHO EL TEJON by Frank Forest Latta. 1976: Bear State Books, Santa Cruz, page 10. It seems very appropriate and directly related to our conference theme.

"I expect that I am the last remaining alumnus of the old Spanish Escuela Normal de Los Angeles. I attended there in 1863 when I was eleven years of age, and was one of the youngest students in the school. I was in the school until 1865. The school closed just after I left. If any others of those students still are living [1936], they probably are ninety or more years of age.

The Principal of the old school was Sr. Juan Manuel Silvas, of Concepcion, Chile. The second in rank was Candido Fraijo of Spain, and the third was Francisco Escanillo from Andalucia, Spain. Understand, theirs was not a church school. It was a tuition school. They taught us French, Spanish, English, Italian, mathematics, and bookkeeping. Our parents paid three hundred dollars a year for our board, lodging, and instruction.

School was held where the southeast corner of Main and Castelar streets are now, three or four blocks east of the old church on the Plaza."
