Bilingual Research Journal, v26 n3 p525-36 Fall 2002
A study examined the strategies used by a fourth-grade teacher in a two-way bilingual immersion program (English/Spanish) that contributed to students' development of academic language in Spanish. Analysis of a science lesson highlighted the use of an appropriate Spanish-language textbook and the teacher's use of visual elements, repetition, paraphrasing, and relating new facts to students' prior knowledge.
