Culturally Responsive Teaching for the Children of New Immigrants in Taiwan: Perspectives of New Immigrant Parents
Chen, Mei-ying; Gay, Geneva
Problems of Education in the 21st Century, v78 n6A p1065-1080 2020
International marriages have increased the population of new immigrants in Taiwan. Most Taiwanese educators are unaware of the expectations of the new immigrant parents. This ethnographic research explored whether Taiwanese primary school teachers implemented culturally responsive teaching to help the children of new immigrants become academically accomplished from the perspectives of the new immigrant parents. The findings indicated that most Taiwanese primary school teachers were aware of the challenges the children of new immigrants faced but culturally responsive teaching approaches were rarely implemented in any meaningful way, and that Taiwan still lacked effective communication styles, multicultural curriculum design and culturally congruent teaching. While most Taiwanese teachers recognized cultural differences, they failed to pursue measures to achieve educational equity. The new challenges and relevant issues are discussed.
