Dual Language Dual Language (DL) programs provide instruction in two languages (50% in English and 50% in the other language), to develop bilingualism, biliteracy, and cross-cultural understanding in both languages. Students become proficient in reading, writing, and speaking in English and in the target language of the program (e.g., Spanish, Chinese, etc.). The DL model used is based on student demographics in the school and district; however, ELLs receive priority for enrollment. Half of the students are ELLs and half are non-ELLs
