Description

Educators, researchers, and parents interested in past and present foreign language learning opportunities will applaud this far-reaching account of German-English bilingual schools from the 1690s to the 1990s. The study focuses on Cincinnati, birthplace of the first public German bilingual school system in 1840, and the city to launch German bilingual education for monolingual English-speaking pupils in 1974. The Cincinnati model is a proven equalizer in education, with pupils from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds scoring in the top percentiles on standardized achievement tests. This book provides not only a wealth of information for scholars, but a source of ammunition for all advocates of foreign language learning.
