Which program intertwines content learning from the regular curriculum with foreign language instruction?

• A. Foreign Language in Elementary School Program (FLES)
• B. Immersion Programs
• C. Bilingual Education Programs
• D. Theories and lesson plans

Answer: (A)

This describes a program that combines subject-area learning with foreign language study, giving students exposure to a language within the context of regular school content. In Foreign Language in Elementary School Program (FLES), language instruction is integrated alongside the standard curriculum, often introducing the language through content topics and activities rather than making the entire curriculum taught in the foreign language.

Immersion programs, by contrast, teach core subjects primarily in the foreign language, making the language the medium for most instruction, not just an added component. Bilingual education programs aim to develop proficiency in two languages across the curriculum, often blending instruction in students’ native language with the foreign language. Theories and lesson plans aren’t a standalone program in the same way; they’re more about approaches and materials. So, the description best fits FLES.
