How Can We Best Serve LEP Students? A Reply to Nicholas Meier and Stephen Krashen.

Baker, Keith – Phi Delta Kappan, 1999

Meier and Krashen, both employed in California's education system, do an injustice to students in rehashing an already settled battle. Fed up with two decades of failure, California voters replaced bilingual education with structured English immersion. Meier and Krashen offer no suggestions for coping with Proposition 227.

Comment on Willig's "A Meta-Analysis of Selected Studies in the Effectiveness of Bilingual Education".

Peer reviewed

Baker, Keith – Review of Educational Research, 1987
