Through collaboration, structured support and authentic language learning, the UA ML Program prepares students to succeed in all areas of school and society while continuing to value the native language and culture of all ML students.

The ML Program:

  • Provides best-practice instructional strategies that are designed to meet the needs of each ML student.

  • Facilitates opportunities for parents of ML students to develop home-school relationships and encourages involvement in their child’s education.

  • Helps students become proficient in the four language domains of listening, speaking, reading and writing.
