Steve chronicles the enlightened new ways of teaching a language, including the rapid rise of dual language schools and their success in turning out students who are stronger in every subject. He reports on how Americans are demolishing myths about bilingualism, and delves deep into America's language history, demonstrating why our country is poised to become a bilingual powerhouse in this century. English, he discovers, is what unites us; our other languages are what define and strengthen us. Steve also shares stories, both humorous and heartwarming, of his own midlife commitment to make Spanish his "adopted language," and offers refreshingly different and useful how-to's from a host of experts. His book is proof that all of us can partake in the larger life that beckons when we begin our bilingual journey."-From back cover. 650 0 $a Bilingualism $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Second language acquisition. 650 0 $a Language and languages $x Study and teaching $z United States. 650 0 $a Education, Bilingual $z United States. 650 7 $a Bilingualism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00831739 650 7 $a Education, Bilingual. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902886 650 7 $a Language and languages $x Study and teaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992220 650 7 $a Second language acquisition. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01110576 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210824012403.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BEA02D4004A011EC84DF9CAF2EECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
