The Role of Native-Language Instruction in Bilingual Education.
Cardenas, Jose A.
Phi Delta Kappan, v67 n5 p359-63 Jan 1986
The use of language is imperative to the intellectual development of children. Yet language minority children in all-English learning environments are forced to cope with shallow levels of learning while their future learning abilities are severely impaired. Bilingual education with native-language instruction is still the best option for children with limited English proficiency. (MD)
