Educating Language Minority Children

Educating Language Minority Children

READ Perspectives a refereed annual publication of the Institute for Research in English Acquisition and Development (READ) Washington D. C. begins its sixth year with the theme Educating Language Minority Children: An Agenda for the Future. Volume 6 features presentations from a Boston University conference organized by READ and the Pioneer Institute. The essays represent truly diverse viewpoints on the education of limited-English students rare in the complex and contentious arena of bilingual education. The lead article Rethinking Bilingual Education by Charles L Glenn of Boston University inspired the conference's organization. Dr. Glenn proposes new ways of schooling limited-English-speaking children that depart dramatically from the practices of the past 30 years. He proposes sound recommendations for revising Massachusetts bilingual education law ideas that could well be applied in other states. Also included areChristine Rossell's Mystery on the Bilingual Express a critique of the controversial study by Thomas and Collier; Rosalie Pedalino Porter's follow-up review of El Paso Texas's programs for English learners; Mark Lopez's Labor Market Effects of Bilingual Education; Bethlehem Pennsylvania's English Acquisition Program by Thomas J. Dolusio; Maria Estela Brisk's discussion on the need to restructure schools to incorporate the large non-English student population; several articles regarding educational reform in Massachusetts including two by school superintendents Eugene Creedon and Douglas Sears and one by Harold Lane Chairman of the Joint Education Committee in the Massachusetts Legislature; and finally Kevin Clark's From Primary Language Instruction to English Immersion: How Five California Districts Made the Switch. Kevin Clark's California study From Primary Language Instruction to English Immersion: How Five California Districts Made the Switch describes how radical changes are being carried out in a few representative school districts since passage of California Proposition 227 the English for the Children initiative. Educating Language Minority Children is a valuable selection of the most current thinking on policies programs and practices affecting limited-English students in U. S. public schools. It provides a wealth of practical information useful to educators parents legislators and policy analysts and is an essential addition to libraries nationwide.

Interaction and Knowledge Construction in Online English Teaching A Learning Analytics Perspective

Interaction and Knowledge Construction in Online English Teaching A Learning Analytics Perspective

Within a Chinese English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning context this book investigates how teachers and learners interacted and articulated their understanding of English for Research Publication Purposes (ERPP)-related knowledge in a synchronous EFL classroom. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic changed the way people receive education causing an almost overnight switch from on-campus instruction to distance learning. Under the use of three different learning analytics approaches this book has moved beyond the usual descriptive understanding of the online learning process to an in-depth exploratory and inferential analysis of the entities structures relations and processes of learning. The findings enrich current understandings of the complexity of ERPP teaching and learning in synchronous learning contexts. These findings also drive us to rethink and reshape the way ERPP instruction is delivered post-pandemic. An essential read for students and scholars of education and academic English. This book will also be a vital source for researchers in the field of learning analytics data analysis and data interpretation in language teaching and learning. | Interaction and Knowledge Construction in Online English Teaching A Learning Analytics Perspective

Deliberative Governance for Sustainable Development An Innovative Solution for Environment Economy and Society

Deliberative Governance for Sustainable Development An Innovative Solution for Environment Economy and Society

Deliberative Governance for Sustainable Development argues that governance has become the core problem of sustainable development and identifies deliberative democracy and governance as a path forward for Western societies. In this book the author puts forward three messages. Firstly while sustainable development theoretically is a common good of all people it is in practice constantly associated with a multitude of smaller and larger conflicts. These conflicts arise repeatedly because in practice the benefits costs and risks of sustainable development are unequally distributed and therefore form a massive barrier to sustainable development. As a result sustainable development depends on the ability of the social and political institutions of societies to accommodate these conflicts. Second within the framework of their established institutional structures Western societies do not have the sufficient tools for conflict resolution that are adequate to the conditions of modern diversified societies and the complex challenges of sustainable development. They need to implement institutional reforms that switch institutional structures towards deliberation. Third by switching to deliberation Western societies can reach the high level of governance that enables them to achieve environmentally sustainable development that will bring them significant economic and social benefits and as a result may reach far beyond their borders. This volume offers a novel transdisciplinary approach to sustainable development and governance in Western societies. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of sociology economics politics environmental studies and philosophy as well as professionals and policymakers working in the area of sustainable development. | Deliberative Governance for Sustainable Development An Innovative Solution for Environment Economy and Society
