The purpose of the L2TReC Student Research Grants Program is to (1) enhance the research education of University of Utah students and (2) promote the research mission of L2TReC via support for student research projects. Application deadlines are October 15 and March 15 of each year; awarded funds must be used within one calendar year.

As part of an ongoing relationship between L2TReC and the MSIS Capstone Program at the David Eccles School of Business, multiple data visualizations representing students that enrolled in a K-12 dual language immersion (DLI) or Bridge language course, and their subsequent umbrella universities, were launched.

As part of the MSIS Capstone Program at the David Eccles School of Business, L2TReC sponsored their second team in 2022, culminating in the launch of a data visualization tool to show Bridge Language enrollments for students that progress to higher education study @theU.

With an understanding of the proficiency framework, participants will apply the guidelines as an organizing principle to DLI classrooms, syllabi, and lesson planning, with the goal of developing lessons, learning tasks, and classroom-based, formative assessments that are consistent with a proficiency-based approach in a dual language immersion context.
