WEEK 3 STUDY GUIDE

Do not turn in the study guide. Each group member will click on the link to the assessments tool to take the multiple choice test… One hour will be permitted to respond to 15 items
 * 1) Review text chapter 12 – //The Effectiveness of Bilingual Education// and chapter 13 - //Effective Schools and Classrooms for Bilingual Students//. Accompanying Powerpoint presentations for these chapters are available in the course content page.
 * 2) Work with your group members to develop and review a study guide for self- assessment to prepare for the mid-term test about the research and practices that support the effectiveness of instructional programs for bilingual students. These are some guiding questions,
 * What classroom environments are effective for bilingual students?
 * How do these environments influence the academic achievement of students?,
 * What are the advantages of additive bilingualism?,
 * When a bilingual program is not possible to implement because there are students from different language groups in classroom,
 * What is the next best program to offer these students? Why?
