Learning Package, Bilingual-Bicultural Education: An Overview.
Oregon State Dept. of Education, Salem.
This programed learning package on bilingual-bicultural education (BBE) is intended for teachers, administrators, paraprofessionals, and others involved in education. The material is based on four performance objectives, which are accompanied by learning activities designed to help the reader master each objective. The objectives involve learning what BBE is (and is not), why bilingual programs are needed, advantages and disadvantages of BBE, and methods used in bilingual-bicultural instruction. BBE should enable the child to: (1) learn basic concepts initiating him into the school environment in his dominant language; (2) expand his knowledge of his dominant language; (3) expand his second language; (4) learn subject matter and concepts in his dominant language; (5) learn subject matter and concepts in his second language; (6) develop self-assurance, confidence, and a positive identity with his cultural heritage. BBE is not: (1) a remediation program for non-English speaking children; (2) exclusively an ESL program; (3) a program of foreign language instruction; (4) a program for only the non-English speaking child. The learning activities include readings, viewing a video tape, and small group discussions. A postinstructional test and answer key conclude the package. (RCT)
