Welcome to Secondary Dual Language

You are already on your way to becoming highly proficient in a second language, and we are excited to have you continue your language learning in our junior high schools and in our high schools.

Certainly, you have experienced the benefits of the immersion program, but did you know that there are also benefits to the more traditional secondary program you are now beginning?

Davis School District Secondary World Language Department is happy to welcome the incoming seventh graders to our dual language program. Even though the program is no longer "immersion" language acquisition continues--it even speeds up! How is that possible?

Language acquisition can happen faster as the students' cognitive abilities increase and as they can focus their attention entirely on the language. In the elementary program, language acquisition is slower, because you're not just acquiring the language but also learning math, science, and more.

Jr. High Pathway

Junior High Dual Language Continuation program

Participation in a dual language immersion program is considered to be a comprehensive educational experience. Beginning in kindergarten, paired English and target-language teachers collaborate to support student mastery of both the core content standards and target language skills. It is our expectation that students who participate in the language immersion experience participate fully in the school academic day and its prescribed instructional design.

Dual Language Course Pathway for Secondary

High School Pathway

High School Bridge Dual Language Continuation program

The Bridge Program offers an advanced language pathway for high school students who have passed the Advanced Placement (AP) Language and Culture Exam, "bridging" the gap between completion of the exam and higher education. Students begin upper division university language course work in the high school setting, where each 3- credit college course extends over a full academic year of high school. This rigorous and supportive environment establishes a university and career pathway in two languages, and seeks to promote access to bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural citizenship in Utah.

STAMP Test

STAMP Test for Dual Language Students

In Davis School District all our level 4, 5, & AP students (and many level 3 students) take the STAMP assessment each March.

The data helps us ensure our curriculum is the best it can be, and we can also use it to help students make informed decisions about future placement and AP testing.

The STAMP assesses the following modes of communication:

Presentational Speaking
Presentational Writing
Interpretive Reading and Listening
