4. Mainstream Education With Foreign Language is an
approach that many schools are using.
The process is that students are in classes taught in
English or another language and then typically take an
hour and a half to an hour class that is taught in a
second language.
This process lasts about 5-12 years of the students
education.

10. Mainstream Education With Foreign Language
could also be called a process called drip-feeding.
Drip-feeding is used in the United States, Canada, and
some parts of Europe, where a majority of students are
taught with their home language in the classroom.
An example would be a child who has parents who speak
mainly English at home are taught in a school where
subjects are taught in English and includes some second
language teaching.
11. Drip-Feeding Continued…
The second language is typically taught for ½ an hour to an
hour a day making the language more of a subject in the
curriculum similar to subjects like science or math.
Curriculum content is usually more important than the
actual learning of the language in the drip-feeding
approach.
12. What’s the goal of Mainstream Education
With Foreign Language Teaching?
13. The main goal is to provide
adequate instruction and resources
so that the English language learner
(ELL) can achieve academically.
