| Abstract | Few Americans realize that the first large-scale bilingual school system in the United States began over 150 years ago. Or that it was the German language, not Spanish, that received such special treatment in America's public schools. . . . With a few modifications the same questions over political and educational factors are posed in the modern debate over bilingual education. . . . Tying these two eras of bilingual education together in a comparative historical perspective, this paper examines the twin factors of ethnic politics and pedagogical concerns as a factor in developing bilingual education programs in American public schools. |
