Let’S Talk: Increasing Communication In The Dual-Immersion Setting, Iliana Izquierdo
Capstone Projects and Master's Theses
In 2016, California passed Proposition 58, which repealed Proposition 227. The latter proposition, passed in 1998, prohibited the use of non- English instruction in public schools across California. Since then, bilingual education programs such as dual- immersion, or two-way immersion programs have seen a rise in enrollment.

Participation In Dual Language Immersion Programs: Using Theory Of Planned Behavior To Predict Enrollment, Andrea Call
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Many theories have been developed to help explain and predict human behavior.

Previous research has focused on the application of TPB to health behaviors, although some research has been done in educational situations. In addition, dual language immersion (DLI) programs are increasing in popularity, particularly in Utah. The Utah model begins in first grade, and follows …
