Reeves, Todd D.; Pedulla, Joseph J. – Professional Development in Education, 2011
Online professional development (OPD) is proliferating in an effort to eliminate barriers to high-quality in-service teacher training.

Several theories state that bilinguals have greater metalinguistic awareness than monolinguals. We investigated whether this greater metalinguistic awareness is also related to an increased ability to understand an unknown language. To…
