Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bilingual education is a program that teaches students in both their native language and English. This would be the appropriate program for Phoebe since she speaks very little English and needs instruction in her native language as well. Multi-lingual education refers to instruction in multiple languages, but it is not clear from the question whether Phoebe is receiving instruction in more than two languages. LED is not a common educational acronym, and it is unclear what it might stand for in this context. ESL (English as a Second Language) is a program that provides instruction only in English, which would not meet Phoebe's needs as she needs instruction in her native language as well.
