Synopsis
How many students should be in a group? How long should a group stay together? How can groups be managed so that real learning happens? How can noise be controlled? How can group work improve race relations?
In Learning Together in the Multicultural Classroom, Elizabeth Coelho, one of North America's best-known speakers on co-operative learning, answers all these questions as well as many, many more. Drawing on her vast experience of theory and research, not only in co-operative learning but also in language across the curriculum and second language acquisition, she provides her readers with a wealth of practical ideas for making groupwork work in a multicultural context.
Audience: All teachers involved in striving to establish successful and harmonious multicultural learning environments.
