Sharing the Bilingual Journey: Situational Autobiography in a Family Literacy Context.
Pierce, Michelle
Bilingual Research Journal, v26 n3 p575-97 Fall 2002
In a study examining situational autobiography, a learner in a family literacy classroom completed three situational autobiography chapters and then explored the same themes with her children at home. Findings indicate that knowledge of learners' backgrounds is essential to providing quality education, and situational autobiography has a healing effect on people adjusting to a new culture.
