ESL Programs

Guzman, Joseph M. "Learning English: strange as it may seem, new evidence shows it is better to know two languages but be taught math in English." Education Next. Gale. 2.3. 2002. pg. 58-65. 13 March 2010.

This article discusses the benefits of bilingual education. The author is a really big fan of ESL (English as a Second Language) programs in public schools. These programs put students in English classrooms, but at time during the day they put them into smaller discussion groups to help them out with their homework and the language. He spends the majority of the article discussing what an ESL program does and the benefits of having one.
