Supporting English Learners: Best Practices for Bilingual Content Development in K–12 Education

Introduction

Every classroom today is diverse. Every student, no matter their language or background, feels seen, heard, and understood. With over five million English learners (ELs) in US K–12 public schools, bilingual education has become a game changer. Amnet steps up with K–12 content development that speaks every kid’s native language while keeping the lesson clear, accessible, lively, and interactive.

Understanding the Needs of English Learners

Students don’t just need words translated. They need stories that sound like home and pictures that look like their neighborhoods. Research shows that ELs benefit greatly from their lessons when they are culturally relevant to them and paced just for them.

Amnet’s localization services create multilingual content that resonates with ELs, addressing their unique challenges while aligning with the latest curriculum design standards.

Crafting Multilingual and Accessible Content

Have you ever read a book on your phone that uses small fonts and lacks image captions? Frustrating, right? 

That’s why WCAG compliance matters. Amnet adds alt-text to every image and captions to every video, meeting WCAG 2.1 standards. The result: multilingual content can be viewed by any individual on any device.

Incorporating Interactive Elements

Interactive content enriches the learning experiences of students. Gaming-style quizzes, drag-and-drop vocabulary cards, and even brief polls enhance student engagement by 52.6 percent. Amnet integrates these interactive learning elements right into their digital curriculum. These elements keep ELs hooked to their lessons, supporting better retention and understanding in K–12 content.

Leveraging Technology for Personalized Learning

No one size fits all. AI-driven adaptive learning adjusts lessons on the go. The global eLearning market is racing toward $400 billion by 2026, driven by tools like AR/VR. Amnet’s educational technology features adaptive learning applications and LMS integrations that customize content to each EL’s needs. These personalized learning solutions make learning more interesting for students. It helps students experience lessons relevant to them, enabling them to move at their own pace through a digital curriculum.

How Amnet Supports Bilingual Education

Need a curriculum design aligned to state standards? Done. Want teacher training videos that show how to launch a bilingual lesson? Got those too. Amnet creates SCORM/LTI-compliant courses, which means everything plugs into Canvas, Google Classroom, or learning platforms the school district is currently on. All courses are student focused, culturally responsive, and ready to be taught from day one.
