\nIn this class, professor\u00a0Ricento<\/span><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0will talk about the development and great success of a model bilingual program (Mandarin-English) in the\u00a0Edmonton Public School Board<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0that was founded in the early 1980s and is still going strong; he will present findings on what is perhaps the gold standard of research on the education of language minority students in the U.S.A. (Thomas and Collier<\/span><\/strong>); and he will comment on the role and effects of politics, the courts, and state referenda on decisions about funding priorities and pedagogical approaches in the teaching of English to English language learners in the U.S.A.<\/p>\n
