Reading Prompt #3

The pedagogical divide described in Cummins in instruction for low-income and affluent students is based in the inquiry-based and transmission based orientations. The inquiry based is curriculum related knowledge and the transmission based is focused on the contenct of the curriculum. The transmission orientation is predominant to low-income schools.



Egbert discussed new technology programs that enhance ELL literacy. For example, students using voice over to help the learning. This helps the L1 and L2 learning.
