| Body | From http://linguistlist.org/issues/17/17-99.html Title: Bilingual Education Subtitle: From Compensatory to Quality Schooling, Second Edition Published: 2006 Publisher: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates http://www.erlbaum.com/ Author: Maria Estela Brisk, Boston University Paperback: ISBN: 0805847731 Pages: 272 Price: U.S. $ 29.95 Abstract: "Bilingual Education: From Compensatory to Quality Schooling, Second Edition" maintains its original purpose of synthesizing the research on successful bilingual education in order to demonstrate that quality bilingual education is possible and desirable. Findings from a wide range of studies are integrated to provide a clear picture of bilingual education in today's schools, and a professional understanding of the foundations and issues surrounding bilingual education programs. The recommendations offered provide a comprehensive basis for planning, developing, improving, and evaluating bilingual programs. For clarity, these recommendations are discussed with respect to the whole school, the curriculum, and the classroom, but it is stressed that they need to be applied in a holistic way because they depend on each other. All educators who work or will work with bilingual students-classroom teachers, administrators, and curricula developers-will find the information in this text essential and will appreciate the straightforward approach and easy reading style.
