This book discusses multiple aspects of Chinese dual language instruction (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 how the three groups support one another; 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 the classroom, Chinese-character teaching and authentic teacher-student interaction. 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. | Mandarin Chinese Dual Language Immersion Programs by Ko-Yin Sung, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
