| Title | New Book: Realizing the Vision of Two-Way Immersion |
| Body | From http://calstore.cal.org/store/detail.aspx?ID=338 New book now available from the Center for Applied Linguistics! Realizing the Vision of Two-Way Immersion: Fostering Effective Programs and Classrooms by Elizabeth R. Howard & Julie Sugarman Publisher: Center for Applied Linguistics and Delta Systems Co., Inc. Two-way immersion programs are a distinctive form of dual language education in which native English speakers and speakers of another language (usually Spanish) are integrated for academic content instruction through both English and the partner language. The goals of such programs include the development of bilingualism, biliteracy, and cross-cultural competence in addition to grade-level performance, and a growing body of research indicates that the model is successful in helping students to attain these goals. At the same time, however, the extent to which students achieve these outcomes varies across schools, with many TWI practitioners unsure about the approaches that are likely to yield the best outcomes. Drawing on a decade of research, this new book by CAL researchers examines the development of bilingualism and biliteracy in elementary TWI students and demonstrates how fostering cultures of intellectualism, equity, and leadership can successfully promote these goals. This book is for anyone who wants to know more about effective TWI education. Order online at the CAL Store (http://calstore.cal.org/store/detail.aspx?ID=338 ). |
