1 Mainstreaming LEP students from the bilingual and ESL programs Mainstreaming is one of the important goals of all specialized instruction. The placement of LEP students (who are or were participating in bilingual or ESL programs) in an all-English mainstream program for all or part of the school day comes as the result of a complex process that assesses and determines if students have acquired the skills and knowledge necessary to function well in an all-English classroom. In the United States, procedures to assess students' readiness for all English instruction vary from state to state.
The sad result is that many non-English speakers grow to believe this same myth. The environment in which children learn to use language is not different simply because there is a first or second language student doing the learning. The environment must be the same: interactive, responsive, and supportive, with encouraging human beings who believe the function or message is far more important than the form in which it is sent (Chaudron, 1988; Hoge, Smith & Hanson, 1990; Urzua, 1980). Well-planned and practiced, mainstream classroom interaction can be meaningful to LEP students; it provides interaction with native speakers of English.
Compensatory education (especially the federally funded Chapter 1 Program), bilingual education, special education, and migrant education are among the most popular special programs. Chapter 1 provides extra academic help for 'disadvantaged' preschool and elementary school students. Most of its financial resources are used for basic instruction in reading and mathematics for poor and low-income elementary school students, but some money is used for preschool education. Migrant education provides funds to states to provide educational services, including English language development, for students of migrant workers.
