[RU] ДВУЯЗЫЧНАЯ РЕВОЛЮЦИЯ БУДУЩЕЕ ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ НА ДВУХ ЯЗЫКАХ

Двуязычная революция – это коллекция вдохновляющих набросков и практических советов, которая рассказывает историю родителей и педагогов, которые основали двуязычные программы в государственных школах города Нью-Йорк. Убежденные в том, что двуязычное образование – это общественное благо, которое должно быть доступно всем ученикам, эти первопроходцы показывают на собственном примере, как такие программы меняют общество, школы и даже страну к лучшему. Книга также служит инструкцией, помогающей основать билингвальную программу, и тем самым начать собственную революцию.
