What Do Our Students Want? Some Reflections on Teaching Spanish as an Academic Subject to Bilingual Students.

Benjamin, Rebecca

ADFL Bulletin, v29 n1 p44-47 Fall 1997

Discusses the teaching of Spanish to native Spanish speakers, looking at the history of the field and the experiences of bilingual students. Suggests that while bilingual educators and Spanish language teachers may see themselves as quite different from each other, their students may perceive their classes as similar. Reference is made to a study of five fifth-grade bilingual students. (MSE)
