The World in Words 102: Learning in two languages, and Zulu
A back-to-school edition about learning in a second language. We hear from an elementary school teacher in Downey, CA on the challenges of teaching English language learners. Also, a Creole-speaking Haitian girl newly arrived in New York City enrols in a high school. Then it’s back to California as an Arabic immersion program gets underway at a charter school in Fremont, CA. Finally, the first Zulu-English dictionary in 40 years has just been published in South Africa.
