Book Synopsis Language and Literacy in Refugee Families by : Chatwara Suwannamai Duran
Download or read book Language and Literacy in Refugee Families written by Chatwara Suwannamai Duran and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-24 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the agreements and discrepancies between public understanding and assumptions about refugees, and the actual beliefs and practices among the refugees themselves in a time of increasing mobility fuelled by what many call 'refugee crisis’. With a focus on language and literacy practices among recently-arrived Karenni refugee families in the United States, this book explores the multilingual repertoires and accumulated literacies acquired through the course of the refugees' multiple movements. Through the lens of transnationalism, the author emphasizes that despite their numerous struggles, the refugees daily and diligently use and strategize their old, emerging, and evolving linguistic and literacy resources to make the best of their resettlement. This book will shed light on the language and literacy practices among transnational and diasporic communities, minoritized or marginalized groups for researchers in these fields as well as practitioners and resettlement agencies working with refugee populations.
Book Synopsis Refugee Education across the Lifespan by : Doris S. Warriner
Download or read book Refugee Education across the Lifespan written by Doris S. Warriner and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-24 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume demonstrates how an educational linguistics approach to inquiry is well positioned to identify, examine, and theorize the language and literacy dimensions of refugee-background learners’ experiences. Contributions (from junior and senior scholars) explore and interrogate the policies, practices and ideologies of language and literacy in formal and informal educational settings as well as their implications for teaching and learning. Chapters in this collection will inform advances in the research base, future innovations in pedagogy, the professional development of teachers, and the educational opportunities that are made available to refugee-background children, youth and adults. The work showcased here will be of particular interest to teachers and teacher educators committed to inclusion, equity, and diversity; those developing curriculum and/or assessment; and researchers interested in the relationship between language practice, language policy and refugee education.

Book Synopsis Specific Needs in Literacy & Language Learning of Refugee Children by : Anna Cavaco Yamashita
Download or read book Specific Needs in Literacy & Language Learning of Refugee Children written by Anna Cavaco Yamashita and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literacy and language development and wellbeing of Syrian refugee students are influenced by many factors including educational and refugee protection policies and socio-economic influences within schools and communities. The present study examined these factors contributing to the successes and challenges in language and literacy development, both in English, the second language (L2) and Arabic, the first language (L1), of Syrian refugee children as they settle in Canada. We employed a mixed measures design, five families participated in qualitative interviews, and nine children (5 girls; M age = 134.67 months) also completed a short battery of quantitative language and literacy measures. The interviews uncovered the importance of L1 maintenance and L2 acquisition, and support systems; and results from the quantitative measures suggested that the sample was significantly behind in language and literacy development. When compared to the German sample, both samples showed L2 difficulties.
Book Synopsis Immigrant and Refugee Youth and Families by : Mo Yee Lee
Download or read book Immigrant and Refugee Youth and Families written by Mo Yee Lee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is known as a nation of immigrants. Over the years the composition of immigrants has significantly changed. From receiving immigrants from primarily Europe, the United States is now home to people from countries around the globe. One of the common challenges encountered by immigrant and refugee families and youth is to successfully resettle and integrate into the host country that is culturally different from their country of origin. Depending on the context of migration, families and youth oftentimes face additional challenges ranging from potential trauma prior to immigration, language, employment, education, healthcare accessibility, integration, discrimination, etc. This book focuses on different issues experienced by immigrant and refugee families and youth as well as programs implemented to serve these populations. These issues pertain to the individual at a personal level (attachment, trauma, bi-cultural self-efficacy, behavioral problems, and mental health), family (parenting, work-family conflict, problems such as domestic violence), community (risk factors such as racial discrimination and protective factors such as social capital) and policy (immigration policy and enforcement). Part I of the book focuses on immigrant and refugee families and Part II focuses on immigrant and refugee youth. By increasing our awareness of issues pertinent to immigrant and refugee families and youth, we can better provide culturally respectful and sensitive services and policy to this population at a time when they are navigating between their host culture and home culture in addition to dealing with challenges encountered in resettlement. The book is a significant new contribution to migration studies and social justice, and will be a great resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of social work, public policy, law and sociology. The chapters in this book were originally published in the Journal of Ethic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work.
Book Synopsis Composing Storylines of Possibilities by : Martha J. Strickland
Download or read book Composing Storylines of Possibilities written by Martha J. Strickland and published by IAP. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, internationally migrant families invite us to listen to the storylines of their mostly muted voices as they navigate the local schools in their new cultural context. They call us to hear them as they grapple with issues they encounter. They implore us to feel like an outsider and see the school as a foreign culture with language and communication barriers. The book is organized to enhance this carework. Each chapter begins with a vignette that includes the voices of one or more members of international migrating families, while introducing the context of the chapter. At the end of each chapter readers will find specific implications to consider. These are constructed with preservice teachers, practicing teachers, and educational administrators in mind. As you read each chapter, there is the call for school transformation. The families in this book entreat school personnel to engage with international migrant families and to embrace a risk and resilience model as we strive together for success. These storylines challenge us to examine our personal storylines for biases and deficit understandings and call us all to purposefully rewrite these in the spirit of possibilities as the families in this book have embodied for us.

Book Synopsis Language and Literacy in Out-of-school Contexts by : Hillary A. Libnoch
Download or read book Language and Literacy in Out-of-school Contexts written by Hillary A. Libnoch and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oftentimes those within a particular minoritized group (e.g., refugees) are assumed to have had the same language and literacy experiences or to hold the same language- and literacy-related values and beliefs. This fails to consider the variation that exists both across and within these groups. Children from refugee backgrounds attend elementary schools across the country and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, we know very little about the language and literacy experiences of young refugee children in the United States. In order to provide appropriate support to children from refugee backgrounds, it is necessary for educators to understand students’ repertoires of cultural practices. Educator knowledge of these repertoires can prevent overgeneralization or oversimplification of refugee children’s backgrounds and experiences and can challenge the assumption that the practices in which they engage in their communities are fixed or static. Thus, the aim of the current study was to examine and document the language- and literacy-related practices of a group of children from refugee backgrounds at their church, afterschool program, and homes (in both offline and online spaces). In recognition of the dynamic nature of these practices, I paid particular attention to the ways in which the children’s repertoires of practice shifted from first through third grade and again as they navigated changes resulting from the coronavirus pandemic. Consequently, I engaged in an ethnographically-informed case study between 2018 and 2020. Research occurred in two phases. During Phase 1, I engaged in participant observation, conducted staff and family interviews, and collected artifacts (e.g., church programs, photos of the research site). With the onset of coronavirus, I added a second phase of data collection to the study. Due to COVID-19, data in Phase 2 was limited to (a) interviews with children and staff members via phone or Zoom and (b) the collection of artifacts including photos and writing samples created by the children in response to oral prompts presented during interviews. Using repertoires of practice as a lens to examine the data, I engaged in both activity setting analysis and thematic analysis to uncover patterns and themes. Findings indicated that the social organization of focal children’s out-of-school activity settings allowed them to participate in a variety of language and literacy practices, including but not limited to reading leveled books (physical and digital) in English; engaging in child-initiated talk in multiple languages around literacy tasks; writing, reading, reciting, and performing Zomi Bible verses; using text and emojis to communicate with peers online; and creating, editing, and sharing online videos. The children’s community, family, and individual histories both shaped and were shaped by each of these settings in various ways. Before the pandemic, the children possessed strong cognitive, social, and spiritual foundations likely cultivated by (a) the opportunities they had to build their repertoires of language and literacy practice, (b) the continuity present within and across their out-of-school activity settings, and (c) the spaces they had to socialize around literacy and to establish their identification with Zomi culture. I argue that it was these foundations that ultimately carried them through the pandemic. Not only did children adapt quickly to the abrupt changes forced upon them, but they also exhibited agency and ingenuity in the ways they handled those changes. Adding these findings to the extant literature and to future studies on children’s language and literacy can lead to a greater awareness of the complexity of human activity by attending to the fluidity and hybridity of practices that result from both internal (e.g., participant agency) and external (e.g., coronavirus) changes. Additionally, educators can use the current findings to augment their knowledge base on the language and literacy practices of children from refugee backgrounds and use them to promote an asset-based approach to working with refugee communities.
Book Synopsis Meeting the Needs of Reunited Refugee Families by : Sarah Cox
Download or read book Meeting the Needs of Reunited Refugee Families written by Sarah Cox and published by Channel View Publications. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the gap between policy, practice and academic literature within language learning for refugees and argues that a multilingual approach, which combines translanguaging principles, decolonising methodology and linguistic hospitality, provides a more accessible starting point than current monolingual pedagogies. It considers the multilingual and multilateral approach laid out within Scotland’s New Scots Refugee Integration Strategy, which recognises the importance of linguistic diversity and two-way integration. The divide between policy, practice and theory points towards the need to counteract the dominant monolingual/social cohesion narrative through suitable pedagogies which highlight linguistic diversity in a positive way. The author suggests ‘ecologising’ as an alternative language pedagogy, drawing on three key findings: the significance of decolonising, collaborative learner/teacher relationships during the liminal phase of refugee arrival; the importance of place and orientation; and an increased understanding of language and ‘languaging’.
Book Synopsis Literacy Practices in Transition by : Anne Pitkänen-Huhta
Download or read book Literacy Practices in Transition written by Anne Pitkänen-Huhta and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2012-11-14 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literacy Practices in Transition explores the connections between local, situated literacy practices and global processes of mobility in the geographical space of the Nordic countries, an example of contemporary mobile societies. The detailed empirical analyses show how these connections affect individuals, practices and policies; how the global and local meet in discourses and practices and how people need to (re)negotiate their way in the complex and messy spaces in which they move. The volume challenges current trends in the global standardization of language and literacy education. Instead, it promotes the idea of literacy as a multiple, multilingual, multimodal and constantly contestable and negotiable phenomenon, which calls for the development of language and literacy education that is sensitive to the needs and experiences of the individual actors.
