Title: Article: How Should We Teach English-Language Learners?
Body: From http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=105900115 How Should We Teach English-Language Learners? by Claudio Sanchez June 28, 2009 Last week, the Supreme Court ruled that the state of Arizona has not violated federal laws that require schools to help students who do not speak, read or write English. Despite the federal mandates, these kids often fail to do well in school. So why haven't schools figured out the best way to teach English to non-English-speaking students? "The research certainly has in the past shown dual language programs to be the most effective," says Nancy Rowch. Rowch oversees instruction for English-language learners in Nebraska. She swears that building on a child's native language, rather than discarding it, has proven to be the best way to help kids make the transition to English — but that's neither here nor there, because the actual programs that schools use have less to do with research than with politics and funding.
