Abstract:

This book responds to the expansion of dual language immersion (DLI)
programs into secondary contexts, examining the effectiveness of these
programs and highlighting areas for improvement in the curriculum.
Focusing on Mandarin Chinese DLI in Utah secondary schools, it
presents the views of teachers, parents and students on the newly
implemented program, explores patterns of classroom interactions, and
assesses learners’ oral narrative development as well as their
learning strategy use in building reading, writing and listening
skills. In this way, it pinpoints possible weaknesses in the
curriculum and current teaching practices and provides pedagogical
implications and suggestions for in-service teachers and
administrators, advocating for the inclusion of heritage language
maintenance as a program goal. It enhances pre-service teachers’
understanding of the policy background and current program issues and
offers a base for DLI researchers to build upon in understudied
secondary school contexts.
