Abstract
In this starred paper, adequate cultural strategies are presented in Hispanic culture and with bilingual teachers, immersed in the Spanish language, with which students can recognize themselves and achieve more meaningful learning are presented.
It analyzes how the immersion library programs encompass content mostly in the English language, showing a disadvantage for immersed librarian media specialist teachers, who require linguistic strategies and know how to land the six AASL standards and the goals of The World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages, in schools that span two languages at the same time.
It examines the data about instruction through the immersion language during the library class for second grade in an Elementary school. Likewise, the integrated Spanish language teaching within the library classroom is analyzed, and presents cultural teaching strategies based on six Standards of the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) and the goals of The World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages.
