Definition
- Dual-language programs, also known as two-way immersion programs, were developed on the basis of research by Wallace Lambert and Richard Tucker on French-English dual-language schools in Canada in the 1970s. Much success in achievement and positive attitudes toward out-group language speakers were reported from the Canadian programs for both the Anglophones (English speakers) and Francophones (French speakers) in the schools.
