Literacy Learning of Adults in a Bilingual ESL Classroom.
Malicky, Grace V.; Derwing, Tracey
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v39 n4 p393-406 Dec 1993
A Canadian bilingual ESL program for Cambodians was taught by an experienced English-speaking ESL teacher and a Cambodian-speaking coteacher. Observations, interviews, and journal analysis showed that a bilingual monocultural format encouraged student participation and peer teaching and that second-language learning was facilitated by first-language literacy.
