Queens' English and the Teaching of Newcomer-Americans in New York's Most Ethnically Diverse Borough.

Barrett, Frank; D'Sena, Peter

MCT, v18 n3 p39-44 Sum 2000

Describes the "Newcomers High School" in Queens, New York, a school in which all of the students are recent immigrants, many of limited English proficiency. Contrasts the language developmental approach of this school with the immersion approach of a highly multiethnic private high school and the two-way language (bilingual) approach of an urban elementary school.
