On the State of Bilingual Education 1990-95: "Forked Tongue" Continued.
Porter, Rosalie Pedalino
READ Perspectives, v3 n1 p5-61 Spr 1996
Presents a comprehensive report of material collected over five years for advocating to improve the education of language minority children. The essay argues that the attempts to help immigrant schoolchildren deficient in English are misguided in the assumption that these children cannot learn English quickly and must be taught academic subjects in their native language.
