Discovering Successful Second Language Teaching Strategies and Practices: From Programme Evaluation to Classroom Experimentation and A Response.
Swain, Merrill; Johnson, Robert Keith
Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v17 n2-4 p89-113 1996
Analyzes how Canadian immersion education has developed from its origins to the present in terms of a cycle guided by the interplay between theory and classroom practice of second- language acquisition. Johnson responds by questioning the extent to which bilingual education theory and practices are universal or context specific. (38 references) (Author/CK)
