Abstract:

This book discusses multiple aspects of Chinese dual language immersion (DLI)
programs, with a focus on the controversial Utah model. The first part of the
book focuses on the parents, teachers, and school administrators. It looks at
the perceptions of the three groups toward the Utah model, how they build a
supportive DLI classroom with an emphasis on teacher–teacher and
teacher–parent communication, and how the teachers position themselves in
teaching through their teacher identities. The second part of the book
emphasizes classroom research and explores teaching and learning strategies,
corrective feedback and learner uptake and repair, translanguaging in
authentic teacher–student interaction, and Chinese-character teaching. As the
first DLI book to include a non-alphabetical language, Chinese, it addresses
the need for more research on DLI programs of languages other than Spanish.
The book will benefit not only Chinese DLI educators and administrators in the
US, but will also offer some useful suggestions and thoughts to educators and
administrators of similar programs worldwide.
