Research shows the many benefits of dual language programs. Hawaii celebrates multilingualism and works towards providing an increasing number of dual language supports and programs for ELs. HIDOE is currently in the process of hiring an external provider to support in the research, planning, implementation, and evaluation of dual langauge programs in Hawaii.
As of January 2020, the Request for Proposals (RFP) process has started to hire expertise to create research-based dual language Program at two (2) elementary schools on the Island of Oahu for School Year 2020-2021. The goals of the program are academic achievement, bilingualism, and biliteracy in English and another language in the grade-level content classroom where half of the class speaks English as the first language and another half speaks the other language as the first language.
