This book is about two innovative methods for teachers of bilingual students to use in improving their academic achievement. Transacquisition Pedagogy or TAP developed by Tauwehe Sophie Tamati is the method described in the book's first part. It uses principles of flexible bilingualism and a task sequenced approach. The success of TAP in an intervention study in two of New Zealand's Maori schools illustrates how cognitive and linguistic processes can be used to increase student conceptual understanding and to improve their academic biliteracy.

Produktbeschreibung
This book is about two innovative methods for teachers of bilingual students to use in improving their academic achievement. Transacquisition Pedagogy or TAP developed by Tauwehe Sophie Tamati is the method described in the book's first part. It uses principles of flexible bilingualism and a task sequenced approach. The success of TAP in an intervention study in two of New Zealand's Maori schools illustrates how cognitive and linguistic processes can be used to increase student conceptual understanding and to improve their academic biliteracy.

Part two is about the Curriculum Design Coherence Model (CDC Model) created by Elizabeth Rata. It shows teachers how to design concepts, content and competencies to connect academic knowledge and thinking processes. The CDC Model has proved its success in the Knowledge-Rich School Project in New Zealand and England.

TransAcquistion Pedagogy and the CDC Model are aligned. TAP works by putting the CDC design method into practice. The separate usefulness of TAP and the CDC Model and the added value of their alignment provides an innovative approach to education. Used together or separately they provide invaluable teaching methods for bilingual, immersion and mainstream education.

Rezensionen
"The book takes a major innovation in the field of curriculum design (the CDC Model) into bilingual and immersion education. It shows how good curriculum design aligns to teaching methods which use students' two languages to access academic knowledge."

Dr. Richard Pountney, Principal Lecturer, LTA Lead, Teaching Fellow, SFHEA. Sheffield Institute of Education, College of Social Sciences and Arts

"The Curriculum Design Coherence (CDC) Model provides a highly effective method for teachers to use in designing curricula by enabling them to pay particular attention to the significance of knowledge. This book aligns the CDC Model's design method to TransAcquisition Pedagogy. It shows how using the two methods together makes a valuable contribution to bilingual and immersion education."
