In 1983-1984, the Multilingual Survival Skills Program provided support services and instruction in English as a Second Language (ESL) and native language skills to approximately 360 students of limited English proficiency (LEP) in Grades 9-12 at Wingate High School (Brooklyn, New York). Bilingual instruction in mathematics, science, and social studies was also provided. Eighty-one percent of the students spoke Haitian Creole as their native language. The remaining 19% were Hispanic, mainly from the Dominican Republic and Panama. Among the major goals of the project were to help students pass courses required for graduation; to develop and implement a pilot program in native language arts for Haitian students; and to develop curriculum materials to reinforce skills for illiterate or semi-literate Haitian and Hispanic students in required content-area courses. An assessment of first-year student achievement found that program students were able to achieve proposed instructional achievements in ESL, Spanish language arts, and social studies. Performance in mathematics, biology, and French was lower and program objectives were not met. Specific areas of improvement for consideration by the bilingual project include: recruitment of bilingual content-area teachers (Spanish/English), emphasis on the parental component, and in-service training for personnel working with the program's LEP students.
