Title: Book Review: Becoming Biliterate
Body: Book announcement at: http://linguistlist.org/issues/15/15-1348.html Title: Becoming Biliterate Subtitle: A Study of Two-Way Bilingual Immersion Education Publication Year: 2004 Publisher: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates http://www.erlbaum.com/ Author: Bertha Perez, University of Texas, San Antonio Hardback: ISBN: 0805846786, Pages: 256, Price: U.S. $: 69.95 Full book review at: http://linguistlist.org/issues/15/15-1974.html OVERVIEW Becoming Biliterate offers an in-depth look into many aspects of two two-way bilingual Spanish and English immersion programs in San Antonio, Texas, USA over a six year period (1994-2001). While individual studies about specific points such as student learning have been carried out within this time frame with these two schools, this book is a detailed account of how biliteracy has been facilitated through teachers, administrators, policymakers, and parents (p. xxiv). Becoming Biliterate is appropriate for a large audience -- policymakers, administrators, preservice and current teachers, graduate students and researchers. The foreword by María E. Torres-Guzmán sets a nice stage for what is to follow. The first chapter begins by examining the current and historical situations in the USA and the following chapters delve specifically into the situation in San Antonio, Texas and look within the schools for factors such as leadership and parents, skills development, testing, the role of the teacher. The appendix begins with a description of the research methodology and is followed by a thorough description of the various methods used in data collection.
