Language and Literacy Issues Related to Mexican-American Secondary Students.
Perez, Bertha
High School Journal, v78 n4 p236-43 Apr-May 1995
Reviews the limited research on language and literacy instruction of Mexican-American secondary students. Emerging themes indicate that secondary bilingual programs are few; English-as-a-Second-Language is the most widely used approach for developing language skills; schools that are effective with limited-English-speaking students use more integrated, holistic approaches. Contains 35 references. (TD)
