Silvia Dorta-Duque de Reyes: The Dynamics of Cross-Linguistic Instruction: Strategies for Building Biliteracy, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Teaching two language systems is a complex process. It demands understanding of how each language works and how each is similar or different. Using the language subsystems as an organizational framework, this book presents a rationale and process for addressing these similarities and differences in a way that is comprehensible and manageable for teaching and learning. The Dynamics of Cross-Linguistic Instruction is for all who embrace the urgency of maximizing and celebrating the linguistic potential of all our students. Teaching explicitly for cross-linguistic transfer promotes and ensures equity, as well as proficient language development leading to biliteracy. Information included: Practical strategies for two language systems; explicit lessons for implementation; research-based and organized in a user-friendly way; short and simple high-frequency words. This book serves as a practical guide that includes identifying cross-linguistic transfer opportunities, strategies, and routines for explicit instruction of cross-linguistic transfer skills. It is a resource to facilitate instructional decision making, lesson planning and provide effective cross-linguistic teaching strategies and routines.
