This study examines the process for gaining Russian instructional materials at a dual language immersion program for school children in the Western USA. The ethnographic approach to the bilingual and multilingual setting draws on Urie Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory to explore how the context impedes or supports the instructional need for appropriate language materials in the reformist period: a period marked by standardized testing and managed schools under a business model. This transdisciplinary approach crossing linguistic, anthropological, and psychological fields was selected to explore the cultural–historical implications in the USA where bilingual education was aggressively dismantled with the onset of the World Wars. The findings demonstrate organizational leadership that was resistant to the needs of the Russian teachers and families, and is lacking in knowledge of languages, translation, and pedagogy. Findings also show how a community worked together for the benefit of young learners. Implications include the need for the US Government to better support immigrant communities and schools to achieve the multilingual workforce initiative. A protocol for selecting instructional materials from abroad is provided to assist with curriculum development.
