The following chapters, various aspects of multicultural education including its development background in America, its criteria, the challenges and misunderstanding faced by it as well as its development prospect in the future are further introduced in detail. As this book covers a comprehensive range and has fewer terms, it is suitable as the stepping stone to the understanding of multicultural education.This report takes Chapter Two and Chapter Five of Understanding Multicultural Education as the practice translation material.
