Teaching Multicultured Students: Culturalism and Anti-culturalism in the School Classroom

by Alex Moore

Overview

Offers suggestions for making classroom and teaching practice more effective for bilingual and bidialectical pupils. Case studies are used, which give voice to student and practising teacher perspectives which are often unheard. This book will help teachers develop practice that combats actual exclusion and the symbolic exclusion that some multicultured students experience.
