This document outlines a bilingual education project at the Eustaquio Palacios school. The project aims to motivate students to learn and speak English by having 12 11th grade students receive training and help teach English to elementary school students after school. The student teachers use materials and lessons provided by the school to teach classes in English using methods like Total Physical Response. Results of the project showed increased motivation for both the high school and elementary students, support for elementary teachers, and evidence that elementary students are learning English before high school.
