The Academic and Political Discourse of Minority Language Education
Dr. Jim Cummins
La Cosecha 2009 Keynote Presentation—November 19, 2009
Description/Overview: Dr. Cummins touches on four key strands in describing the consensus among researchers with respect to the legitimacy of bilingual education: power relations in school and community that range from coercive to collaborative; the disconnect between education/language policy and research; literacy engagement as a key predictor for literacy/biliteracy attainment; and the nature of language separation and intersection in dual language programs.
