Effects of Two Way Immersion on the Ethnic Identification of Third Language Students: An Exploratory Study.

Rolstad, Kellie

Bilingual Research Journal, v21 n1 p43-63 Win 1997

An exploratory study used Los Angeles' Korean/English Bilingual Immersion Project (KEBIP) to examine effects of two-way immersion on ethnic identification of third-language speakers who received no first-language support from teachers. KEBIP participants were compared with ethnically matched students from other classrooms. Third-language students fared well in language development and ethnic identification. Contains 33 references.
