Beschreibung:
Beverly McLeod is the project coordinator of the Student Diversity Study, a U.S. Department of Education-funded effort to identify and study exemplary schools whose students come from diverse language and cultural backgrounds. She is a research affiliate, National Center for Research on Cultural Diversity and Second Language Learning, University of California, Santa Cruz.
This book explores the challenges of teaching an increasingly multilingual and multicultural American school population. Six million American children--one in eight--live in homes where a language other than English is spoken. Most of these children come to school with limited ability in English. Many of them do not succeed in the American school system; two-thirds of immigrant students, and up to one-half of students from non-English backgrounds, drop out of school.
