Overview

The Bilingual-Bicultural Education program at Columbia University focuses on promoting multilingualism worldwide. We specifically prepare educators to promote multilingualism through the exploration of issues of learning and teaching in more than one language. Language allows us to codify our worlds in a dynamic way.

The use of more than one language in instruction calls for new ways of teaching and learning as the multiple languages represent different cultures and world views that converge within a social space.

The diversity of New York City is a source of inspiration for us to craft our instruction in ways that take advantage of and mine its resources. So, that while we concentrate on the major language minority groups of the city -- Spanish speakers and Chinese speakers -- we have something to say and contribute to other settings in which the co-existence and intermingling of languages occur around the world.
