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.

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.

This book was released on 2017-08-25 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educating dual language learners (DLLs) and English learners (ELs) effectively is a national challenge with consequences both for individuals and for American society. Despite their linguistic, cognitive, and social potential, many ELsâ€"who account for more than 9 percent of enrollment in grades K-12 in U.S. schoolsâ€"are struggling to meet the requirements for academic success, and their prospects for success in postsecondary education and in the workforce are jeopardized as a result. Promoting the Educational Success of Children and Youth Learning English: Promising Futures examines how evidence based on research relevant to the development of DLLs/ELs from birth to age 21 can inform education and health policies and related practices that can result in better educational outcomes. This report makes recommendations for policy, practice, and research and data collection focused on addressing the challenges in caring for and educating DLLs/ELs from birth to grade 12.

Download or read book Storybridge to Second Language Literacy written by Irma-Kaarina Ghosn and published by IAP. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Storybridge to Second Language Literacy makes a case for using authentic children’s literature—alternately also referred to as ‘stories’ or ‘real books’—as the medium of instruction in teaching English to young learners, particularly in contexts where children must access general curriculum subjects in English. The author first proposes theoretical foundations for the argument that illustrated children’s books are superior to traditional language teaching courses in the primary school. She builds the case around the motivational power of stories, the language and content of quality children’s literature, and the potential of literature to contribute to development of second language academic literacy. She then reviews research of the past thirty years that clearly supports her claim. Finally, she uses transcripts from real classrooms to illustrate how teachers in diverse contexts make use of stories. Through the classroom vignettes, a practical model of literature-based instruction emerges that is adaptable to a wide range of primary school teaching contexts, including English as a second language contexts in core-English countries. Storybridge to Second Language Literacy compiles in one volume solid theoretical foundations for story-based instruction, research evidence of the past thirty years supporting the approach (not currently available in a single source), and extensive classroom vignettes illustrating diverse practical applications (not lesson plans).This makes the book valuable for anyone in the field of young learner ELT. MA students in TESOL will find the book useful and will develop an understanding of why and how literature-based instruction works and develop insight to guide their practice. Members of TESOL Elementary Education, EFL, and Bilingual Education SIGs, and IATEFL Young Learner SIG will be interested in the volume. Instructors of teacher development courses should also find the proposed volume a valuable addition to assigned readings. Each chapter is followed by ‘Think about it’ questions and ‘Try it out’ suggestions.

Book Synopsis Inclusive Literacy Teaching by : Lori A Helman
Download or read book Inclusive Literacy Teaching written by Lori A Helman and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responding to the need to prepare elementary teachers for the increasing linguistic diversity in schools, this book presents key foundational principles in language and literacy development for linguistically diverse students. Readers see these ideas enacted through the journeys of real students as they progress from 1st through 6th grade. What emerges is both a “big picture” and an “up close and personal” look at the successes, obstacles, and developmental nuances for students learning to read and write in a new language in inclusive classrooms. Throughout, the authors provide crucial guidance to educators that will support them in taking conscious steps toward creating educational equity for linguistically diverse students. “Resources such as Inclusive Literacy Teaching support the professional learning of emergent bilingual teachers in a respectful and practical manner.” —From the Foreword by Robert T. Jiménez, Vanderbilt University “If you are going to read just one book about working with multilingual children, this should be the book!” —Cynthia Brock, University of Wyoming “Illustrations of promising instructional strategies are shared to support teachers in making essential changes in their classroom literacy programs.” —Catherine Compton-Lilly, University of Wisconsin–Madison “This book beautifully illustrates the challenges, tensions, and opportunities faced by linguistically diverse students and their teachers and families.” —Claude Goldenberg, Stanford Graduate School of Education
