Which program is described as interweaving content learning from the regular curriculum and 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)

Interweaving content from the regular curriculum with foreign language instruction is a hallmark of the Foreign Language in Elementary School program. In FLES, language learning is embedded within core subjects like math, science, social studies, and literacy, so students learn subject matter while building language skills. This differs from immersion, where instruction is predominantly delivered in the target language across most or all subjects. Bilingual education programs aim for proficiency in two languages and may use dual-language approaches or separate language supports rather than weaving every content area directly into language learning. Theories and lesson plans are planning tools, not a specific program description of how content and language are integrated.
