Educating Second Language Children: The Whole Child, the Whole Curriculum, the Whole Community

Cambridge Language Education

by Fred Genesee (Editor)

This text brings together the work of 15 elementary education experts who support an integrative approach to educating second language children. The paperback edition is a collection of articles from fourteen elementary education experts who espouse an integrative approach to second language education - one that goes beyond language teaching methodology - to cover a wide range of issues affecting the academic and social success of language minority children. The volume deals not only with second language development, but with the development of the whole child. Rather than focusing on language instruction, it addresses the entire curriculum, and instead of restricting itself to classroom learning, it examines the role of the school, family, and community.

A book I was 'obliged' to read for my studies-a good resource, with research coming from a range international practice in relation to teaching English.
