This volume is an indispensable tool for teachers, administrators, and parents involved with dual language programmes' - Liz Howard, Research Associate Center for Applied Linguistics, Washington, DC`This book is an excellent resource for educators interested in developing bilingual capacity in American school children' - Diane August, Director, National Literacy Panel on Language Minority Children and YouthDual Immersion programmes (or two-way bilingual programes are a hot topic in bilingual education. In a dual immersion programme, half the students speak English and half the students are non-English speakers. Research indicates that this is a very effective programme for increasing the achievement levels of all students. Many organizations that oppose bilingual education are in favor of dual-immersion programmes. In this book, the authors illustrate how to provide school administrators, teachers and parents with basic knowledge needed for planning and implementing an effective two-way bilingual programme. |
