Download or read book Mandarin Chinese Dual Language Immersion Programs written by Ko-Yin Sung and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2019-06-05 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses multiple aspects of Chinese dual language immersion (DLI) programs, with a focus on the controversial Utah model. The first part of the book focuses on the parents, teachers, and school administrators. It looks at the perceptions of the three groups toward the Utah model, how they build a supportive DLI classroom with an emphasis on teacher–teacher and teacher–parent communication, and how the teachers position themselves in teaching through their teacher identities. The second part of the book emphasizes classroom research and explores teaching and learning strategies, corrective feedback and learner uptake and repair, translanguaging in authentic teacher–student interaction, and Chinese-character teaching. As the first DLI book to include a non-alphabetical language, Chinese, it addresses the need for more research on DLI programs of languages other than Spanish. The book will benefit not only Chinese DLI educators and administrators in the US, but will also offer some useful suggestions and thoughts to educators and administrators of similar programs worldwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bilingual education has been an option in United States public schools since the 20th century. A variety of programs have been implemented to aid students in becoming bilingual. However, over the last 20 years Two Way Immersion (TWI) programs, also known as Dual Language Immersion (DLI) programs, have become the most popular programs throughout the nation. This research set out to investigate the effectiveness of a DLI program in a rural Central California school. The research examined whether a difference in academic achievement in the area of literacy existed between second grade DLI students and English-only students, as measured by the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills assessment. This assessment categorized each student's performance as either being below grade level, at grade level or above grade level. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and by running a Chi-square test. The results of this study indicated that no statistically significant difference exists between the academic achievement in literacy of DLI and EO students.

Download or read book Dual Language Education Teaching and Leading in Two Languages written by David E. DeMatthews and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-13 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination of dual language education for Latina/o English language learners (ELLs) in the United States, with a particular focus on the state of Texas and the U.S.-Mexico border. The book is broken into three parts. Part I examines how Latina/o ELLs have been historically underserved in public schools and how this has contributed to numerous educational inequities. Part II examines bilingualism, biliteracy, and dual language education as an effective model for addressing the inequities identified in Part I. Part III examines research on dual language education in a large urban school district, a high-performing elementary school that serves a high proportion of ELLs along the Texas-Mexico border, and best practices for principals and teachers. This volume explores the potential and realities of dual language education from a historical and social justice lens. Most importantly, the book shows how successful programs and schools need to address and align many related aspects in order to best serve emergent bilingual Latino/as: from preparing teachers and administrators, to understanding assessment and the impacts of financial inequities on bilingual learners.

Download or read book Dual Language Bilingual Education written by Kathryn I. Henderson and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the role of the teacher in dual language bilingual education (DLBE) implementation in a time of nationwide program expansion, in large part due to new and unprecedented top-down initiatives at state and district level. The book provides case studies of DLBE teachers who: (a) implemented the DLBE model with fidelity; (b) struggled to implement the DLBE model; and (c) adapted the DLBE model to meet the needs of their local classroom context. The book demonstrates the way teachers as language policymakers navigate and interpret district-wide DLBE implementation and the tensions that surface through this process. The research, conducted over four years using a variety of methods, highlights the challenges and opportunities faced by teachers implementing DLBE, and will be of interest to both teachers and administrators of DLBE programs as well as scholars working in bilingual education.
Download or read book AN ANALYSIS OF THE PERCEPTIONS OF PARENTS AND EDUCATORS ON DARE COUNTY SCHOOLS SPANISH DUAL LANGUAGE IMMERSION PROGRAM written by Keith Parker and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bilingual education is an emerging trend that can be found in many American public schools. Increasingly, schools are looking towards dual language immersion programs to foster increased cultural awareness, stronger literacy skills, and innovative school transformation. The purpose of this study was to understand the perceptions of parents and educators in Dare County Schools on effective dual language immersion programs. The InQuiry process was used in this study to understand the perspective of the participants. This process combines a sorting activity and follow-up focus groups to gather both qualitative and quantitative data. Five distinct perspectives emerged from the data collected in this study: (1) Equity and Innovation, (2) Academic Achievement, (3) Social Awareness and Cognition, (4) Multiculturalism and Academic Achievement, (5) High-Quality Instructional Programs and Teacher Professional Development. The study findings indicate that participants have a high preference for increased cultural awareness and literacy development; two characteristics that are often associated with highly effective dual language immersion programs. The implications of this research suggest the district will be well served to pair the integration of a robust global education curriculum with the dual language immersion program.

This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces research-based pedagogical practices for supporting and enhancing language development and use in school-based immersion and dual language programs in which a second, foreign, heritage, or indigenous language is used as the medium of subject-matter instruction. Using counterbalanced instruction as the volume’s pedagogical framework, the authors map out the specific pedagogical skill set and knowledge base that teachers in immersion and dual language classrooms need so their students can engage with content taught through an additional language while continuing to improve their proficiency in that language. To illustrate key concepts and effective practices, the authors draw on classroom-based research and include teacher-created examples of classroom application. The following topics are covered in detail: defining characteristics of immersion and dual language programs and features of well-implemented programs strategies to promote language and content integration in curricular planning as well as classroom instruction and performance assessment an instructional model to counterbalance form-focused and content-based instruction scaffolding strategies that support students’ comprehension and production while ensuring continued language development an approach to creating cross-linguistic connections through biliteracy instruction a self-assessment tool for teachers to reflect on their pedagogical growth Also applicable to content and language integrated learning and other forms of content-based language teaching, this comprehensive volume includes graphics to facilitate navigation and provides Resources for Readers and Application Activities at the end of each chapter. The book will be a key resource for preservice and in-service teachers, administrators, and teacher educators.
