In this First 5 LA article, our Director of Dual Language Learner (DLL) Programs, Carolyne Crolotte, shares why expanding the languages of the “Two Languages, Twice the Opportunities” media campaign to four additional languages (Vietnamese, Khmer, Korean and Armenian) will support more DLL children in Los Angeles County.
In such a multilingual region, adding the new languages was a much-needed development, said Carolyne Crolotte, director of the Dual Language Learner (DLL) programs for Early Edge California, one of the partners in the campaign. “We need to be reaching all of our communities,” she said. “These campaigns uplift the benefits of bilingualism and reach some of our most vulnerable communities.”
