Question 442 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B
Amerigo grew up speaking both English and Italian with his family, and he believes that knowledge of more than one language is a valuable tool. He also believes that the best way to introduce students to a new language is in small groups or in one-on-one conversations. However, his son’s high school offers only one introductory Italian class, which is usually filled with more than 30 students. Who could Amerigo work with to help provide one-on-one Italian instruction for students?
Answer
A
Amerigo could work with instructional designers, publishers, and public university administrators to provide the books, online resources, and language expertise to the school’s Italian teacher.
B
Amerigo could work with school administrators, the principal, and private tutors to find the time, money, and classroom space for tutors to give after-school Italian lessons.
C
Amerigo could work with the Italian teacher, instructional coordinators, and school librarians to organize an area in the library that is filled with books about Italy and Italian literature.
D
Amerigo could work with the state and local government and school district administrators to create a program in which high school students are required to take more than one language class.
Explanation
Amerigo wants students to get Italian instruction in one-on-one conversations, but the existing class is too large. Working with administrators, the principal, and private tutors could help arrange after-school lessons and secure the time, funding, and space they need. The other choices focus on resources, a library area, or requiring more language classes, rather than providing individual tutoring.
