Worlds apart?

About this book

"As increasing numbers of students with disabilities enter our colleges and universities, faculty members are asking for precisely the combination of theory, methods, and hands-on experience offered in World's Apart? Disability and Foreign Language Learning." "This collection of essays dispels any stigma surrounding disability in the classroom and confronts unacceptably high rates of attrition among college students with disabilities today. The authors propose a range of strategies for enabling the success of every student, highlighting practical approaches to all levels of language study, from beginning through advanced courses to study abroad." "By exploring the ways that disability is both universal and culturally conditioned, Worlds Apart? prompts us to examine critically the institutional environment in which our students learn."--Jacket.
