Transitional bilingual education is an instructional approach designed to help students who are learning a new language, typically English, while still using their native language. The goal is to support students in developing proficiency in English while gradually transitioning them to an all-English curriculum. This method often involves teaching subjects in both languages, allowing students to build on their existing knowledge. In this program, students receive instruction in their native language for a limited time, usually until they reach a certain level of English proficiency. The focus is on helping them succeed academically and socially in an English-dominant environment, ensuring they do not fall behind in their studies during the transition.
