Taking Spanish to the next level
by Susan Snyder
At one North Philadelphia college campus, Spanish-speaking students learn English while taking other courses in a two-year associate degree program. Most classes are in Spanish the first semester; by the third, almost all are in English, and students must complete a 12-page research paper in English to earn a degree. While such bilingual approaches occur regularly in lower education, they are much more rare at the college level, officials say.
