Texte suppl.

"This interesting and competent work meets the vital criteria of relevance and utility to its target audience. Pedagogically, it follows accepted good practice...the students' need to know is provoked, and then they find the answers....this book has its heart right in the right place."—Linguist List"Their offering comes as a collection of thoughtfully crafted, tested, and honed lesson plans through which teachers and students together study the linguistic, cultural, economic, political, and social factors that affect students and their learning in a bilingual and bicultural environment....touching upon a daunting array of complex topics, Brisk, Burgos, and Hamerla have kept a tight focus on application, refraining from extensive exposition of theory and research and keeping the book to a manageable length and appropriate depth."—Studies in Second Language Acquisition
