The Need for Bilingual Education in the Schools of Vermont
Argument toward implementing a bilingual education program in the public schools of the state of Vermont. Written in the context of the 1968 United States congressional discussions about funding bilingual education in general, and the scope of languages to which congress would propose attention. Uses Vermont as a case study in language demographics. Presents the author's collection of data concerning Vermont language usage, geographic distribution of children with limited English-speaking ability, and other factors pertinent to the federal legislation in question. While the dissertation engages bilingual education as a national phenomenon involving many languages other than English, the specific case of Vermont orientates the author toward the language realities of that state, the bulk of non-English speakers being represented in populations of French-speaking Franco Americans there. Contains an overview of scholarship on bilingualism.Tags Acculturation and Assimilation, Albany VT, Alburg VT, Bakersfield VT, Barnet VT, Barre VT, Barton VT, Bennington VT, Berkshire VT, Brandon VT, Brattleboro VT, Brighton VT, Brownington VT, Burlington VT, Canaan VT, Charleston VT, Charlotte VT, Clarendon VT, Colchester VT, Coventry VT, Demography, Derby VT, Eden VT, Education, Enosburg Falls VT, Essex VT, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Fair Haven VT, Fairfax VT, Ferrisburgh VT, Franklin VT, Georgia VT, Government and Politics, Hanover NH, Hardwick VT, Highgate VT, Holland VT, Hyde Park VT, Irasburg VT, Jay VT, Jericho VT, Language and Linguistics, Lowell VT, Lyndon VT, Manchester VT, Middlebury VT, Middlesex VT, Milton VT, Montgomery VT, Montpelier VT, Morristown VT, New Haven VT, Newbury VT, Newport VT, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- Education, Nonfiction -- Government and Politics, Nonfiction -- Language and Linguistics, Norton VT, Orange VT, Orleans County VT, Pownal VT, Proctor VT, Putney VT, Richford VT, Richmond VT, Rockingham VT, Rutland VT, Shelburne VT, Sheldon VT, South Burlington VT, Springfield VT, St. Albans VT, St. Johnsbury VT, Stowe VT, Sutton VT, Swanton VT, Troy VT, Vergennes VT, Vermont, Walden VT, West Rutland VT, Westfield VT, Westford VT, Westminster VT, Whiting VT, Williamstown VT, Wilmington VT, Windsor VT, Wolcott VT -
