Bilingual Placement Option

Orientation: Friday, June 21st from 2:00-3:00 pm in room 2024 with Susan Guilfoyle.

For candidates who are bilingual in Spanish or Mandarin, you have the option of being placed in a Dual Immersion classroom. Your UCI coursework and assignments are the same as other candidates in the program, but you will be able to use your bilingual skills to support students who are learning in two languages.

Our Bilingual Coordinator, Susan Guilfoyle (sguilfoy@uci.edu), works with our bilingual candidates to secure their school placements. In order to be eligible for a placement in a Spanish Dual Immersion classroom, you will be assessed on your speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. If you are a Mandarin speaker, you will be assessed by one of our Mentor Teachers.

Bilingual candidates in dual immersion schools will register for Cohort D during summer session and Cohort B (for bilingual!) during fall, winter and spring quarter.
