Ramirez et al.: Misled by Bad Theory.
Overview & Synopsis
Critiques two theories dominating bilingual education. The facilitation hypothesis predicts long-term advantage for bilingual education over all-English instruction. The time-on-task hypothesis predicts that all-English instruction is superior to bilingual education in teaching English. Argues that bilingual programs may facilitate English learning better than all-English instruction only in the early grades. (KS)
