Lowman, Chris – set: Research Information for Teachers, 2019
Common approaches to language teaching in many New Zealand schools typically show a lack of attention to students' own language-learning strategies.

Cohen, Andrew D. – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2015
This paper first considers what it means to become truly proficient in a language other than the native one. It then looks briefly at the evolution of dual language programs. Next, it focuses on the issue of whether the first language (L1) or the second language (L2) serves as the language of mediation. Other dual language program issues are then…

Lozano, Leticia I. – Association of Mexican American Educators Journal, 2014
It is essential for teachers to provide a setting where student interaction is fostered as a mediational tool for learning, thus expediting the natural transfer of language and knowledge among students (Cummins, 1979). Doing so provides students a way of learning in an additive environment (Soltero, 2004). Could such a classroom have the potential…
