| Abstract | This evaluation report summarizes results of the Bilingual Language Arts Program (BLAST), Walton High School, Bronx, New York, 1983-1984. BLAST was designed as a transitional program emphasizing student integration into society. The program provided instruction in English as a second language and native language arts, as well as bilingual instruction in social studies, science, mathematics, typing, and career orientation. Quantitative analysis of student achievement data indicates that: (1) most program students manifested improved oral/aural English language skills on the New York City Fluency Scale; (2) the yearly average passing rate for students in E.S.L. classes was 72%; (3) students demonstrated overall passing rates of 95% (fall) and 98% (spring) on both the city-wide and Regents examinations in Spanish; (4) overall passing rates in mathematics, science, and social studies courses were quite similar for both program and mainstream students; (5) overall passing rates in elective career courses were high; and (6) the attendance rate of program students was statistically significantly higher than the attendance rate of the school as a whole. Recommendations for improving the program include developing health careers and computer literacy components, a bilingual program counselor, guidance office follow-up of students in mainstream classes, recruitment of a certified bilingual mathematics teacher, and workshops for project and school staff to further educate them in bilingual curricula.
