Dual Language EducationMultilingual Matters, 2001 - 370 pàgines Lindhold-Leary (child development, San Jose St. U.) examines dual language education (DLE), an approach to language learning in which both language majority and language minority students are integrated into a single classroom, with opportunities for all students to achieve full bilingualism and biliteracy, multicultural competence, and academic excellence. The author presents data from 20 DLE programs in U.S. schools, at different stages of implementation. Coverage includes teacher background factors and attitudes; classroom interactions; parent attitudes and reasoning; evaluation outcomes of the 4,900 students in the 20 programs; student attitudes, motivations, self-esteem, and their beliefs about the benefits of bilingualism. The implications for other language education models are also included. Distributed by UTP Distribution. c. Book News Inc. |
