Everyone who cares about bilingualism as a goal of two-way immersion should know about this research.\"\u003c\/p\u003e -- Donna Christian, President of the Center for Applied Linguistics, Washington, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Identity investment is key to understanding how two-way immersion (TWI) programs function on the local level. Potowski demonstrates that when students invest in their identities as Spanish speakers (regardless of their ethnic or linguistic background), they are more likely to develop expertise in Spanish. Educators who understand this fundamental sociolinguistic notion can find creative ways to actively counter student resistance to Spanish at school.\"\u003c\/p\u003e -- Rebecca Freeman, Adjunct Professor, Graduate School of Education, University of Pennsylvania.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Immersion Classroom Research and Methodology of this Study\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Inter-American Magnet School\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Fifth Grade Language Use and Proficiency\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Identity Investments of Fifth Graders\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Language Use in Eighth Grade\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Spanish Proficiency in Eighth Grade\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Identity Investments in Eighth Grade\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Conclusions\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Channel View Publications Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043058516311,"sku":"9781853599439","price":23.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781853599439.jpg?v=1750956832","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/language-and-identity-in-a-dual-immersion-school-9781853599439","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
