Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to examine kindergarten children's outcomes and experiences in four program models: full-day French immersion, half-day French immersion, full-day English, and half-day English. This quasi-experimental study employed a mixed methods approach. Child participants (N=70) across the four programs were administered standardized measures of English receptive vocabulary and reading, as well as a print task, a number sense task, a drawing task, and an interview, at the beginning and end of kindergarten, as well as at the beginning of Grade 1. Additionally, children from French immersion (FI) programs were administered equivalent measures in French. Parents of child participants completed questionnaires at the beginning and the end of kindergarten, which served to provide demographic information and parents' perspectives of their children's experiences. Finally, in order to provide context for the study, educators (N=7) across the four programs participated in semi-structured interviews relating to program implementation and child experiences. Mixed ANOVAs were conducted in order to determine program differences at each time point. Results revealed significant differences in English word identification, with children from English full-day kindergarten (FDK) scoring significantly higher at the beginning of Grade 1 than children in either FI program, and English word decoding, with only children from half-day programs (FI and English) making significant gains over the kindergarten year. However, when analyzing French literacy skills, only children from FI FDK kindergarten made significant gains in word identification scores, and scored significantly higher in receptive vocabulary than children from half-day FI kindergarten. When examining drawing complexity, results revealed only children from FDK programs (both English and FI) made significant gains between time points. Children's interview transcripts revealed that across all programs, play was discussed more frequently at the kindergarten level, but academics were discussed more often in Grade 1. This study makes important contributions to the literature on full-day kindergarten programming as well as second-language education. Findings suggest that FDK has a greater impact on reading in second-language contexts and that increased exposure to the second language, as well as learning through play, is beneficial for vocabulary development and word identification in the second language. In the context of education in Ontario, this study has particular relevance as school boards decide whether to offer FI at the kindergarten level with the emergence of the new play-based FDK program.

Book excerpt: An examination of existing data was conducted to determine the effects of different kindergarten options on subsequent academic achievement in French immersion programs. It was concluded that there was no evidence for any superiority in outcomes for full-day bilingual as compared to half-day French kindergarten. No clear trends emerged in the comparison of full-day bilingual vs. half-day English groups at the grade 1 level, although differences in French skills were apparent between these two groups in grades 2 and 3. These trends are interpreted as tentative evidence that exposure to French in kindergarten influences subsequent performance in French. Analysis of further studies confirmed this interpretation, although several studies indicated the possibility of students who did not experience French kindergarten closing the gap in French skills. Virtually no data were found that considered possible differential effects on half-day vs. full-day kindergartens on students with different background characteristics. (Author/JB)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reconsidering the Role of Play in Early Childhood: Towards Social Justice and Equity—a compilation of current play research in early childhood education and care—challenges, disrupts, and reexamines conventional perspectives on play. By highlighting powerful and provocative studies from around the world that attend to the complexities and diverse contexts of children’s play, the issues of social justice and equity related to play are made visible. This body of work is framed by the phenomenological viewpoint that presumes equity is best confronted and improved through developing an expanded understanding of play in its multiple variations and dimensions. The play studies explore the potential and troubles of play in teaching and learning, children’s agency in play, the actual spaces where children play, and different perspectives of play based on identity and culture. The editors invite readers to use the research as an inspiration to reconsider their conceptions of play and to take action to work for a world where all children have access to play. This book was originally published as a special issue of Early Child Development and Care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linguistic Minorities, Policies and Pluralism examines the position of some linguistic minority groups, including policies that affect them. This book provides a useful perspective on group relations, emphasizing the aims, purposes, and values held by the societies in which linguistic minority groups exist. The structure of society and perceptions of pluralism and assimilation are also described. This text demonstrates that there is not a simple opposition between pluralism and assimilation, there are difficulties with educational programs intended to support minority group language and identity, minority views are not themselves homogeneous, and advocates of cultural pluralism often hold over-simplified and unrealistic ideas. This publication is a good reference for students and researchers conducting work on pluralism, assimilation, language maintenance/shift, and ethnolinguistic identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bilingualism Through Schooling is a comprehensive survey of bilingual education. It shows how bilingual schooling can have a double impact by providing students with functional second-language competence, and also contributing to their deeper understanding of culture and history. Concerned with both ethnolinguistic minority children and majority, English-speaking pupils, the book approaches bilingualism from a variety of perspectives—linguistic, psychological, and socio-cultural. Among the many topics discussed are: goals and consequences of bilingualism, sociolinguistic contexts, language attitudes, and proficiency assessment. Ramirez explores the various types of programs and techniques used to facilitate second-language acquisition and also provides guidelines for the preparation and certification of bilingual instructors. Bibliographies are included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the authors decry the creation of a version of Canadian identity that actively discourages the cultivation of many of its citizens' languages. If multilingualism is regarded as a valuable asset both for the individual and for society, then why do so many Canadians vehemently oppose the teaching of heritage languages? Why do many parents who demand that their children be given the opportunity to become bilingual in French and English protest angrily at the fact that their tax dollars are being used to teach the languages of immigrant children? Why is it appropriate to promote multilingualism in private schools but not in the public school system? Is multilingualism good for the rich but bad for the poor? Heritage Languages examines the difficulties experienced integrating heritage languages into official curricula, and the successful efforts to teach Ukrainian, Italian, Hebrew, ASL, Portuguese and Punjabi in Canadian classrooms.
