Abstract	In its first year, the 1987 Bilingual Program for Eleventh and Twelfth Graders provided mostly over-age, limited-English-speaking students with an opportunity for more timely graduation through instruction in English as a second language (ESL) and content-area instruction in the summer. Eligibility requirements included limited English proficiency and the inability to schedule required or makeup courses during the academic year. The program operated at 18 high schools in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. Evening classes were available at one location. Courses included three levels of ESL, bilingually-taught classes in business math, Latin American studies, American history, biology, and general science, and six levels of native language arts in French and Spanish. Most participants were Spanish- or Chinese-speaking, and many were in the ninth and tenth grades. Although no specific objectives were proposed, data show passing rates in all but two courses were over 70%. Recommendations for program improvement include increased recruitment efforts for overage eleventh- and twelfth-graders and for the evening school. (Author/MSE)
