Intensive Programme TIFOLA: Teaching in Foreign Language
The TiFoLa intensive programme intends to promote the idea of teaching non-national languages not only in language classes, but also in all other subjects as well, in order to offer students to encounter the language(s) in a new, meaningful environment. In general, initial-teacher training should offer more workshops, lessons and lectures in foreign languages to encourage future teachers to adopt this model of teaching in their later careers.

Bilingual
Education - Recent Research -Issues in U.S. Language Policy
For many Americans, bilingual education seems to defy common sense – not to mention the Melting Pot tradition. They ask:
If non-English-speaking students are isolated in foreign-language classrooms, how are they ever going to learn English, the key to upward mobility?
What was wrong with the old "sink or swim" method that worked for generations of earlier immigrants?
Isn't bilingual education just another example of "political
correctness" run amok – the inability to say no to a
vociferous ethnic lobby?

Bilingual Education Resources - Rethinking Schools
Bilingual
education is both a civil and human right. Unfortunately with the
rise of anti-immigrant sentiment in the United States, bilingual
education has been attacked at the state and federal level. Statewide
anti-bilingual initiatives have passed in California, Colorado and
Massachusetts. Federal legislation recently passed (as part of George
W. Bush's Elementary and Secondary Education Act) includes provisions
which further disadvantage those who are learning English.
