The purpose of this study was to understand how elementary school teachers implemented culturally responsive teaching in their classes in Taiwan. Data were collected through interviews from five teachers with new Taiwanese children in their classes. The results indicated that teachers practised culturally responsive teaching based on the prescripts of existing school regulations. Due to the restrictions of education policy, curriculum, school regulations, few numbers of new Taiwanese children in the class, and parents' lower expectation, significant teaching reform to meet the diverse needs of students and improve their learning is still a long way off.
