In order to investigate how a two-way immersion (TWI) classroom influences both content and language learning, this study examines first grade math instruction in a Korean/English 50/50 TWI program. Math instruction in any language is often considered a universal subject due to universal mathematical concepts; however, math instruction in Korean might calls for language specific curriculum due to a dual number system and the use of counter classifiers. By focusing on teacher’s input during Korean instructional time, this study highlights two critical gaps in bilingual instructional contexts: the need for more professional development for continued linguistic training and support and the need for the development of curricula and resources that are appropriate for language specific characteristics.
