Bilingual Research Journal, v26 n1 p65-84 Spr 2002

A Massachusetts two-way bilingual education program provides initial first-language (L1) literacy development for all students, teaches half of the curriculum in L1 and half in L2 by third grade, and selectively integrates native and non-native speakers of the target language. Both target groups meet academic and linguistic goals by fifth grade. (Contains 41 references.) (TD)
