Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hmong are a mountain-dwelling subgroup of the Miao of southwest China. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, they began migrating southeast to Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. In the second half of the twentieth century, mainly because of their participation in the Second Indochina War (1954-1975), the Hmong began migrating to the West. Today the Hmong are one of the fastest-growing ethnic populations in the United States, increasing from about 94,000 in the 1990 census to approximately 190,000 in the U.S. Census Bureau's 2005 American Community Survey. With this rapid expansion, there has been a substantially increased interest in Hmong-related written works; multimedia materials; and websites among students, scholars, service professionals, and the general public. To help meet this interest, Mark Edward Pfeifer has compiled Hmong-Related Works, 1996-2006. An Annotated Bibliography, which includes full reference information (including Internet links to articles) and descriptive summaries for more than 600 Hmong-related works. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outstanding Book Award, Conference on College Composition and Communication "We are only beginning to recognize the global forces that have long shaped literacy in the United States. What we need now is a book that demonstrates how to theorize U.S. literacy with regard to globalization’s complex legacy. Writing from These Roots satisfies this need, and then some. Duffy’s careful representation of Hmong literacy narratives is a remarkable accomplishment in its own right, not least for the respect he shows the women and men whose stories enable him to delineate personal, cultural, and national pathways to literacy. In also documenting Hmong people’s transnational pathway to literacy in the United States, Duffy expertly details the rhetorical means by which literacy can make legible the self-fashioning of distinct identities against a historical backdrop bleached by generations of assimilationist public policy and racist discourse. Duffy’s insistence that we think rhetorically about literacy is a call that will resonate in literacy scholarship for years to come." —Peter Mortensen, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign "Writing from These Roots is without doubt a major, original, and important work. Fittingly, for a book that conceptualizes its topics and themes globally and comparatively, it will attract an international audience." —Harvey J. Graff, The Ohio State University "This is a fascinating and important study that is rich in theoretical insight about literacy and has an informed and detailed account of the Hmong experience in Laos and the United States." —Franklin Ng, California State University, Fresno Writing from These Roots documents the historical development of literacy in a Midwestern American community of Laotian Hmong, a people who came to the United States as refugees from the Vietnam War and whose language had no widely accepted written form until one created by missionary-linguists was adopted in the late twentieth century by Hmong in Laos and, later, the U.S. and other Western nations. As such, the Hmong have often been described as "preliterates," "nonliterates," or members of an "oral culture." Although such terms are problematic, it is nevertheless true that the majority of Hmong did not read or write in any language when they arrived in the U.S. For this reason, the Hmong provide a unique opportunity to study the forces that influence the development of reading and writing abilities in cultures in which writing is not widespread and to do so within the context of the political, economic, religious, military, and migratory upheavals classified broadly as "globalization."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Given the number of English learners already in our schools and the rate at which this population is growing, effectively educating language-minority students is one of the greatest challenges schools face. In this lucid, concise, and reader-friendly review of research, the authors present the information needed to create the strongest possible instructional programs." —Michael F. Graves, Professor of Literacy Education, Emeritus University of Minnesota "The authors have done an exceptionally good job of capturing the major trends, differing perspectives, and many challenges in schooling English language learners while putting forth a vision for the immediate future that is solidly grounded in research and in current and evolving knowledge." —Liliana Minaya-Rowe, Associate Researcher Center for Data-Driven Reform Johns Hopkins University "A must-read for administrators, program developers, policy makers, and educators who make decisions about English language learners. Promoting Academic Achievement Among English Learners is a trustworthy source for determining what is known about providing the highest-quality educational services for language-minority students." —Patricia G. Mathes, Texas Instruments Chair of Reading Professor of Teaching and Learning Southern Methodist University Discover the research and facts on what works in educating English learners! A generation or two ago, the achievement of children who came to school knowing little or no English was not a prominent national issue. Today, with the increased focus on school accountability and educational equity, it is. This comprehensive resource explores the research on promoting academic success among language-minority students. The authors offer educators a firm basis for making decisions on policies and programs for English learners and provide research-based discussions on what we know about: Bilingual education and using a student′s home language in instruction Teaching English and academic content simultaneously School and district factors that affect achievement for English learners Sociocultural factors in success, including the influence of parents and families

This book was released on 2011-03-14 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grounded in state-of-the-art research, this book explores how English language learners develop both the oral language and literacy skills necessary for school success. Chapters examine the cognitive bases of English acquisition, and how the process is different for children from alphabetic (such as Spanish) and nonalphabetic (such as Chinese) language backgrounds. The book addresses a key challenge facing educators and clinicians: identifying students whose poor English skills may indicate an underlying impairment, as opposed to still-developing language proficiency. Implications for diagnosis, intervention, and instruction are highlighted throughout.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis study examines the home literacy experiences of two Hmong children who are dual language learners. The research consists of two case studies in which each case specifically focused on one child's literacy-related activities at home. At the time of data collection, both children were two years-old. Data was collected through multiple home observations of the children as well as several interviews with the children's mothers about their child's home literacy experience. Through the use of data triangulation and discourse analysis, results indicated that each child engaged in some literacy-related activities at home; however, their home environment is not fully conducive to early literacy development. The study provides several suggestions for parents to help support their child with early literacy at home. Additionally, the study strongly suggests that the participants' community create a Hmong Family Literacy Program for Hmong families as an initiative to support children's home literacy experience.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on Hmong American childrens’ Home Literacy Environments (HLEs) is limited. Further, although parent participation is increasingly encouraged in the American school system, Hmong American families may face significant barriers to school participation. This study investigated the Home Literacy Environments (HLEs) of 18 Hmong American first graders in an urban Midwestern city through parent interviews. The relationship between home literacy practices and reading achievement data was analyzed using codes from parent interviews and archival reading achievement data to identify emerging patterns and potential relationships. Further, barriers and supports to parent participation in the classroom were explored using parent responses and interviews with Hmong American staff members. Three primary findings emerged from the data, including: (a) nature of the students’ HLEs, (b) emerging patterns between students’ home literacy practices and progress on reading assessments, and (c) barriers and supports affecting parent participation in the classroom. Implications of the study are discussed in relation to future research and practice.

Book excerpt: As states like California adopt a more multilingual ideology in their public education, more heritage language education is being offered via parent advocated dual language programs to aid in heritage language maintenance. While previous research on dual language programs and family language policy have sought to investigate heritage language maintenance, there is a scarcity of research that examines how the two domains, public education and the home domain can work together to promote heritage language maintenance. Framed by King et al.'s (2008) conceptualization of family language policy, which considers language beliefs, language practices and language management, in conjunction with the Douglas Fir Group's (2016) ecological transdisciplinary framework for second language acquisition, this multiple case study investigates two Hmong-American families' language policy in relation to a Hmong-English dual language program, where their children are enrolled. Specifically, it explores how the families' access to a dual language program influences their language beliefs and practices, while also considering other micro, meso, and macro level factors. Interviews, artifacts, and family recorded interactions were utilized to get a full understanding of what factors at the different levels of interaction shaped their family language policy. Beyond a sole focus on the parents, the study also explores child agency and negotiation of the family language policy.The study reveals that both sets of parents perceived the relationship between the home and school as a partnership for their children's heritage language development, with the school taking on the onus for Hmong literacy. This resulted in both families' more secondary role and thus home language practices to merely supplement the school content. Importantly, while both sets of parents held similar beliefs regarding the role of the dual language program in heritage language maintenance, it was their different beliefs in the value of Hmong for their children's future in the US context that led to the different family language policies between the families. The study also reveals that beyond the school domain, the church domain can also help reinforce heritage language maintenance. Other factors, based on the parent's own personal and professional experiences, that influenced their family language policy include: 1) their alignment or misalignment with macro ideologies about English for capital, 2) heritage language maintenance for community, 3) their state context in California, 4) heritage language maintenance for ethnic and cultural identity, and 5) their own literacy or lack thereof in the heritage language. The findings also reveal how children agentively 1) influence sibling investment in the heritage language and 2) model and facilitate heritage language learning for siblings.Congruent with previous research, the study confirms that while family language policy is concerned with home language use, it operates within a larger sociocultural context, with oftentimes overlapping domains, each with their own language beliefs (e.g., school domain, church domain, state domain). Therefore, family language policy must be analyzed through a holistic lens that considers how these domains support or shift heritage language maintenance. Crucially the findings also support previous research that heritage language maintenance requires a concerted effort between families and a variety of other domains. While the Hmong-English dual language program plays a crucial role in Hmong literacy, it is not enough to foster and maintain the heritage language, without support from other domains.The study offers important implications for families wanting to raise their children bilingually in their heritage language, and for schools interested in wanting to better serve their heritage language learners and their families.

Download or read book Impacts of Participation in Hmong as World Language Classes on Outcomes for Hmong American High School Students written by William Vang and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the consequences for urban Hmong American high school students of participating in two years sequences of high school level Hmong as World Language courses. The Hmong population in the United States is a product of war, exile and resettlement at the end of the Vietnam War. Since their arrival, both the Hmong people and American social and political institutions have been trying to learn how to deal with each other more effectively and respectfully. One of the key American institutions engaging with the Hmong diaspora has been the public schools. This study explores one program in one public high school in north central California, initiated by Hmong educators themselves. The Hmong as World language program seeks to provide relevant academic education for Hmong American students by teaching Hmong as a "foreign language" for purposes of high school graduation and college admission requirements. Some of the most important issues facing young Hmong Americans include not having access to quality and equitable educational opportunity and losing their ethnic and cultural identity and language as they go through school. The results are often low academic performance in school or dropping out altogether. These pressures also push many young Hmong Americans away from their families and their traditions and into negative live choices which further disrupt the Hmong community (Cha, 2010; O'Reilly, 1998). The Hmong migrations to the United States are recent. Therefore, studies of Hmong educational attainment and cultural endurance in the United States are fairly new. However educational researchers and especially new Hmong scholars are beginning to identify factors that contribute to the problems faced by this group of students and to their success. Vang's (1998) study showed a correlation between cultural retention and students' academic achievement. Hutchinson (1997) and Rumbaut (1989) reported that connectedness to Hmong culture positively affected educational performance of Hmong American youth. Moreover, Ngo and Lee (2007) report many findings that Hmong and other Southeast Asian students who adopt a strategy of accommodation without assimilation are the most successful (See also, McNall, et al., 1994 and Lee, 2005). This study is ground in Yosso0́9s (2005) theory of community cultural wealth. Yosso identifies six forms of community capital which together constitute a pool of community cultural wealth that minority students, such as the Hmong American students in this study can draw upon. The study employed both qualitative and quantitative analyses. These included statistical analysis of the relationship between participation in Hmong as World Language (HWL) instruction and other measures of high school success and in depth analysis of interviews and focus group dialogues with teachers of HWL and recent graduates who had taken HWL. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses found that taking HWL for two years had many positive outcomes for students and no identifiable negative consequences. Positive academic outcomes included improvements in high school GPA and increased skill and confidence performing academic work in all subjects. An additional educational outcome was students' confidence and optimism about future educational and career plans. Positive outcomes for the students outside of school included strengthening their relationship with family, community and culture. Students born in the United States who took two years of HWL talked of coming back home to their Hmong identity and families. Students born in Thailand, recent arrivals from the closure of the last Vietnam era refugee camps, insisted that the HWL classes helped them learn how to navigate the system of American high school requirements. This study demonstrates the importance of incorporating the strengths of the Hmong American community into the education of their children and confirms the power of heritage language to bind a community together and to develop high level thinking in bilingual, bicultural students. The study concludes with recommendations for expanding the availability of Hmong language studies to other schools and grade levels with identifiable Hmong student populations and for further research on the educational journey of Hmong students in the United States and globally.
