The Importance of Meaningful Contexts in Bilingual Special Education: Moving to Whole Language.
Lopez-Reyna, Norma A.
Learning Disabilities Research and Practice, v11 n2 p120-31 Spr 1996
This article examines issues in bilingual special education in the context of moving from a skills-based approach to a whole language approach. Classroom observations in a self-contained elementary classroom for students with learning disabilities revealed the role of the native language and background experiences, the teacher's role in assessing student learning, and ways of providing explicit individualized instruction.
