Teaching and Learning in Two Languages

Eugene E. Garcia is Professor of Education and Dean of the College of Education and Vice-President for University School Partnerships at Arizona State. He is the author of Meeting the Challenge of Linguistic and Cultural Diversity in Early Childhood Education.

“A valuable resource for teachers, administrators and researchers who work with culturally and linguistically diverse students. The strength of this text lies in the way that it explores issues of effective educational reform and practice for ELLs from theoretical, historical, and instructional perspectives and effectively demonstrates a path to implementing successful programs. This book is an excellent text for a graduate class in teacher education, bilingual and/or multicultural education. It will serve not only to provide students with background knowledge related to the practices and policies that impact instructional experiences for ELLs, but also to provoke powerful discussions regarding the role of policy and reform.”— TC Record
