What Is the DLMA (formerly DLIA)?
The Dual Language and Multilingual Alliance (formerly Dual Language Immersion Alliance) is a network of K–12 practitioners and education researchers working to strengthen dual language immersion education. The Alliance identifies the core features and conditions that support high-quality implementation. Strong DLI programs help students become multilingual and multiliterate, build intercultural competence, and prepare for college and careers.
By bringing research, practice, and policy together, the Alliance works to address challenges facing DLI education and support the long-term success of these programs.
