 * Bilingual programs in schools use English Language Learner's native languages to teach English until they are independent in English alone
 * The Bilingual Education Act of 1968 states that, "Under the act, English Language Learners must be kept in an adequate program until they can read, write, and comprehend English well enough to participate meaningfully in all aspects of the school's curriculum."
