Environmental Scaffolds and Learner Responses in a Two-Way Spanish Immersion Kindergarten.
Peregoy, Suzanne F.
Canadian Modern Language Review, v47 n3 p463-76 Apr 1991
A study used classroom observation in a two-way Spanish immersion kindergarten to identify aspects of the classroom environment that permitted and promoted participation by the English-speaking children despite their limited Spanish proficiency. Two participation structures were analyzed: teacher-directed lessons and child-centered activities. Results are discussed in terms of environmental scaffolds. (19 references) (Author/MSE)
