Book Synopsis Language and Social Disadvantage by : Judy Clegg
Download or read book Language and Social Disadvantage written by Judy Clegg and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-08-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language and Social Disadvantage critically analyses and reviews the development of language in direct relation to social disadvantage in the early years and beyond. Definitions and descriptions of social disadvantage are addressed and wider aspects discussed. Theory and practice in relation to language development and social disadvantage are explored. The book is divided into two sections: the first addresses the theoretical associations and relationships between social disadvantage and language, where cognition, literacy, behaviour, learning, socio-emotional development, intervention and outcomes are considered in depth. The second section applies the theory to practice, where real-life intervention studies in nurseries, schools and other contexts are reported. Research and practice based in the UK is a focus of all the chapters and research reports. A genuinely interdisciplinary and collaborative approach is taken using perspectives from speech and language therapy, psychology and education. The book is ideal for professionals and students interested in the study of language development and intervention in the context of social disadvantage.

Book Synopsis Language of Children Starting School in Tamaki by : Moira Nelson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aim: To evaluate the language skills of 5-year-old children starting school within a multicultural community, with levels of social disadvantage. Methods: A cross-sectional observational quantitative study was designed to investigate the language abilities of 102 children aged 5.5–6years. The children were assessed individually using standardised assessments with New Zealand norms and observed in classrooms, to provide comprehensive information about their speech and language abilities. These data were analysed along with additional information regarding general behavioural and developmental measures, gender, ethnicity, number of languages spoken in the home and social-disadvantage factors. Findings: A total of 69% of the children within the sample presented with expressive and receptive language below the level expected for their age. For each child there was a range of social, linguistic and disadvantage factors that were seen to impact on language abilities. This study shows the greatest impact is associated with social-disadvantage factors, which highlights the importance of gathering information from a variety of health, educational and social agency sources and taking a holistic view of the impact of these factors on the child’s development and readiness for school. Conclusion: Very few children were previously known to health or education services and the results of this study would indicate greater levels of difficulty in the population than have previously been recognised. It is likely that a different type and level of intervention is required to enable children to develop the language skills necessary to access the curriculum and be successful in their engagement and progress at school.
Book Synopsis Linguistic Diversity and Social Justice by : Ingrid Piller
Download or read book Linguistic Diversity and Social Justice written by Ingrid Piller and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-18 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding and addressing linguistic disadvantage must be a central facet of the social justice agenda of our time. This book explores the ways in which linguistic diversity mediates social justice in liberal democracies undergoing rapid change due to high levels of migration and economic globalization. Focusing on the linguistic dimensions of economic inequality, cultural domination and imparity of political participation, Linguistic Diversity and Social Justice employs a case-study approach to real-world instances of linguistic injustice. Linguistic diversity is a universal characteristic of human language but linguistic diversity is rarely neutral; rather it is accompanied by linguistic stratification and linguistic subordination. Domains critical to social justice include employment, education, and community participation. The book offers a detailed examination of the connection between linguistic diversity and inequality in these specific contexts within nation states that are organized as liberal democracies. Inequalities exist not only between individuals and groups within a state but also between states. Therefore, the book also explores the role of linguistic diversity in global injustice with a particular focus on the spread of English as a global language. While much of the analysis in this book focuses on language as a means of exclusion, discrimination and disadvantage, the concluding chapter asks what the content of linguistic justice might be.

Book Synopsis Language and Social Identity by : John J. Gumperz
Download or read book Language and Social Identity written by John J. Gumperz and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1982 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout Western society there are now strong pressures for social and racial integration but, in spite of these, recent experience has shown that greater intergroup contact can actually reinforce social distinctions and ethnic stereotypes. The studies collected here examine, from a broad sociological perspective, the sorts of face-to-face verbal exchange that are characteristic of industrial societies, and the volume as a whole pointedly demonstrates the role played by communicative phenomena in establishing and reinforcing social identity. The method of analysis that has been adopted enables the authors to reveal and examine a centrally important but hitherto little discussed conversational mechanism: the subconscious processes of inference that result from situational factors, social presuppositions and discourse conventions. The theory of conversation and the method of analysis that inform the author's approach are discussed in the first two chapters, and the case studies themselves examine interviews, counselling sessions and similar formal exchanges involving contacts between a wide range of different speakers: South Asians, West Indians and native English speakers in Britain; English natives and Chinese in South-East Asia; Afro-Americans, Asians and native English speakers in the United States; and English and French speakers in Canada. The volume will be of importance to linguists, anthropologists, psychologists, and others with a professional interest in communication, and its findings will have far-reaching applications in industrial and community relations and in educational practice.
Book Synopsis Tackling Social Disadvantage through Teacher Education by : Ian Thompson
Download or read book Tackling Social Disadvantage through Teacher Education written by Ian Thompson and published by Critical Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses key issues related to teaching pupils from disadvantaged and impoverished backgrounds and provides a valuable reference and pedagogical tool for teachers and teacher educators. Research has consistently shown that the most economically disadvantaged pupils have the poorest educational outcomes. Austerity government policies and pressures of performativity on schools may have exacerbated this inequality. Yet many teachers remain ill-informed about the effects of social disadvantage on students’ learning and consequently are ill-prepared in appropriate teaching methods. The text critically examines the lessons from previous policy and practice, discusses cognitive and affective aspects of school learning for disadvantaged children and explores the pedagogic implications of research evidence. Using insights from existing research, the book examines the reasons why some trainees and teachers lack a critical perspective on the contexts of poverty and may hold deficit views of students in poverty that suggests they are unable to learn and need to be controlled. It explains some of the links between poverty, special needs, literacy and educational achievement and focuses on strategies for improvement.

Book Synopsis Developing Positive Classroom Environments by : Beth Saggers
Download or read book Developing Positive Classroom Environments written by Beth Saggers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The middle years of learning are increasingly recognised as one of the most challenging yet opportune periods for growth and development. Based on the Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) framework, this book will equip educators with the appropriate knowledge, skills and strategies to support learners in maximising their educational success, managing emotional issues and making a successful transition to adulthood. Part A outlines the principles of the PBS framework, defines key characteristics of middle-years learners and provides insight from neuroscience into the nature of the adolescent brain. This section also looks at the importance of listening to the student voice, highlights issues that can arise during the transition into the middle years of schooling, and discusses the use of evidence-based PBS practices to encourage engagement and establish clear behavioural expectations with learners. Part B focuses on the practical aspects of implementing universal PBS strategies in the classroom, including developing strong and effective relationships with students, promoting school connectedness and supporting self-regulation. Part C examines more focused and intensive interventions, and provides strategies for working with students experiencing stress, anxiety and bullying. Finally, Part D discusses ways to support a range of perspectives and experiences in the middle-years, including trauma-affected students, ethnic and cultural diversity and students on the autism spectrum, as well as ways to use ICT to re-engage vulnerable students. This is an essential reference for both primary and secondary educators, revealing how PBS strategies can play a profound role in positively transforming classroom behaviour.
