Voices from the Margin: Second and Foreign Language Teaching Approaches from Minority Perspectives.
Kubota, Ryuko
Canadian Modern Language Review, v54 n3 p394-412 Apr 1998
A review of literature examines the perspectives on second-language teaching of teachers with a minority perspective, those teaching minority students, learning-disabled or at-risk students, and uncommonly taught languages. These teachers criticize "one-size-fits-all" approaches and propose ethnically, culturally, linguistically, and cognitively responsive approaches. The importance of teaching language structures alongside meaningful communication is emphasized. (Author/MSE)
