Chinese-English Dual Language Immersion Programs

Content Area Instruction, Learners, and Evaluations

Edited by Ko-Yin Sung - Contributions by Ko-Yin Sung; Wenying Zhou; Chiu-Yin (Cathy) Wong; Zhongfeng Tian; Xiaochen Du; Xiaodi Zhou; William Davis; Jiazhen Yan; Shin Chi Fame Kao; Yongmei Ni; Sharon Chang; Bethany R. McGarry; Linqi ‘Teddy’ Peng; Manqian Zhao; Elizabeth Howard; Yifan Wu; Chan Lü; Amy Pace; Meiheng Chen and Zheng Gu

Chinese dual language immersion (DLI) education experienced unprecedented growth in recent years; hence, it has become critical that Chinese DLI research catches up to inform Chinese DLI teachers and administrators of the most effective ways to teach and run their programs. The purpose of Chinese-English Dual Language Immersion Programs: Content Area Instruction, Learners, and Evaluations is to explore three DLI themes that are under-researched: content area instruction, learners, and evaluations. The first section of this edited volume is dedicated to exploring current teaching designs and practices in different content subjects in Chinese DLI programs in order to make useful teaching suggestions to the programs. The second section includes studies which look into K-12 Chinese DLI learners’ learning variables such as motivations, learning strategies, learner perception and engagement, and learner background differences. The last section of this edited volume intends to fill the research gap by including studies which adopt various methods to evaluate Chinese DLI students’ target language level to better illustrate their learning progress in different language skills.

With the increase in Dual Language (DL) programs nationwide, and with a statewide DL initiative in Utah, this edited volume is an important edition with a focus on Chinese-English Dual Language Immersion (CDLI).
