Abstract:

Now available in paperback!
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.
