In calling this book Beyond the Culture Tours, the authors bring
the reader's attention to a set of issues in the teaching of
literature and culture. The Culture Tour is an old concept in the
West, dating back to the seventeenth century. The educated young
man -- it was an exclusively male project at first -- was expected
to round off his education with the Grand Tour. This meant a visit
to the major sites on the European continent, particularly Greece
and Rome, and occasionally to the Holy Land. The object was to have
a first-hand view of these monuments, and looking at them alone
brought people the name of being cultured or well-traveled. As the
idea spread in the early part of the twentieth century, it allowed
for the vicarious tour rather than the actual one. Students were
asked to look at collections of art or reproductions of art work,
listen to concerts or later recordings, and to read certain
"classical" works drawn from what has come to be known as "the
canon." The point of this form of education was that exposure to
these works in itself formed a version of the Grand Tour. The basic
idea behind the tour approach is that exposure to a culture in
books is like travel to an ethnic theme park.

This study presents an in-depth look at a two-way bilingual education program at a middle school. The author examines the curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices against the criteria of effective two-way bilingual programs identified by researchers. Two-way bilingual education programs present an alternative model of bilingual education for all. Students with limited English proficiency and English proficiency can be taught side by side with both groups achieving high levels of bilingualism and biculturalism, both highly desirable skills in the twenty-first century and a global economy. These programs have been identified by researchers as highly effective for all students.
