Learning To Teach Content Bilingually in a Middle School Bilingual Classroom.
Faltis, Christian
Bilingual Research Journal, v20 n1 p29-44 Win 1996
A year-long study followed two bilingual (English/Spanish) middle school teachers as training helped them to develop a new way of interacting with students during content teaching. To enhance student comprehension, the teachers moved away from concurrent translation and made efforts to distribute language usage so that they spent equal amounts of time in both languages. (LP)
