Jakway 1981a

Jakway, Martha A. 1981a. "Culturally adapted education." In Larson, M. and Davis 1981. (Spanish version: Jakway 1979b.)

Bilingual education schools in Peru model how educators can adapt national educational requirements to the local culture. Includes the following models:

• The type of schoolroom
• A practical schedule that blends with family priorities
• A mother tongue teacher instructing in the local language who understands the learners' ways of thinking and respects their culture
• A curriculum using culturally-oriented materials and methods
• Teaching Spanish as a second language using simple, relevant commands, taped conversations, and transitional primers. (Adds grammar later.)

Offers numerous practical ideas from an experienced person's perspective about how to make national educational requirements culturally relevant.
