Language and Learning by Beverly Mcleod
This books shows that transformation of schools to accommodate students from non-English backgrounds would benefit students from all backgrounds. Section One discusses the effects of education reform on students from non-English language backgrounds. Section Two focuses on what and how students are taught. Section Three provides contrasting perspectives on the issue of language development. Section Four outlines approaches, emphasizing meaningful communication, to teaching math and science to students from non-English language backgrounds."I like the broad coverage of critical issues in bilingual/multicultural education—political, sociological, philosophical, historical, and nitty-gritty implementation issues are presentedIt offers a more balanced coverage of critical issues than other publications presently available on the market."— Manuel Ramirez III, University of Texas at Austin
