Abstract
Many students at the Albany International Center and Dual Language Program resist speaking
Spanish. English is clearly very dominant, and students can observe that in their day to day lives.
The students make correlations between those who speak English and their positions in society.
Perceptions based on languages are formed due to this separation of languages. Teachers from
Pre-K to 5th grade face the same challenge: students responding in English during Spanish
instruction time. The literature shows that teachers encounter obstacles including the availability
of materials in languages other than English. Existing policies and administrators that teachers
must follow leave them feeling defeated in the promotion of bilingualism. A professional
development is designed to help teachers create a bilingual environment.
