Investigatethe official language movement (an important Hispanic American cultural interest) described on pp. 243-44 of the text by researching bilingualism in education and politics in the United States. Find 4 to 6 credible Web sites or articles that support, oppose, or simply present information about bilingualism in education or politics. Most sources will focus exclusively on either topic of education or politics, so try to find at least two sources per topic.

Question

(Ms. Sue,

I need 6 credible web site)

Answer 1

Stephen Krashen (in California) and Jim Cummins (in Canada) are two men who have been researching how languages are acquired (better term than learned), as well as the development of bilingualism in a person and the effects on all other subjects he/she studies and the other facets of his/her life.

http://www.google.com/search?q=cummins+bilingualism&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

You can also search here for both of them. They are excellent.

Answer 2

I consider all of these sites credible, primarily because their URLs end in edu (educational institution) or org (organization). Note the second site from Northern Arizona University links dozens of sites about bilingual education. The last site is biased, but provides a good argument for monolingual ballots.
