Vindicated
This book focuses on how to best educate Hispanic English-limited students who tend to be the ethnic group most likely to be taught in their native language and, consequently, to do poorly when compared to all immigrant children limited in English. It provides evidence that the Hispanic students have made impressive gains where states passed anti-bilingual education laws. It compares that success to the students’ failure in New York and Colorado where bilingual education still prevails.
English for the Children
Silicon Valley software entrepreneur Ron Unz took on the education establishment, both major political parties, the ACLU, and several activist groups with his "English for the Children" movement that began in 1996 and ended on Election Day 2002. His campaign to dismantle bilingual education through ballot measures in four states - California, Arizona, Colorado, and Massachusetts - drew frequent responses from the national media that initially opposed and then supported Unz's cause. The initiatives passed with 61-68% of the vote in three states, but failed in Colorado. Experienced teacher and author of Structured English Immersion, Johanna J. Haverdetails the politics surrounding the Unz campaign, explaining both sides of the issues honestly and respectfully. She outlines the challenges that ensued after the measures became law and discusses areas of concern that remain in dispute to this day: Identification, placement, and reclassification of English language learners English proficiency tests Segregation versus integration Compliance versus flexibility The Office for Civil Rights Federal and state funding Dual-language instruction as an option
Implementing Educational Language Policy in Arizona
This volume is a unique contribution to the study of language policy and education for English Learners because it focuses on the decade long implementation of “English Only” in Arizona. How this policy influences teacher preparation and classroom practice is the central topic of this volume. Scholars and researchers present their latest findings and concerns regarding the impact that a restrictive language policy has on critical areas for English Learners and diverse students. If a student's language is sanctioned, do they feel welcome in the classroom? If teachers are only taught about subtractive language policy, will they be able to be tolerant of linguistic diversity in their classrooms? The implications of the chapters suggest that Arizona's version of Structured English Immersion may actually limit English Learners' access to English.

Structured English Immersion

While citing research and giving the pedagogical basis for SEI, Haver does not get mired in the theory—instead, heading directly towards the practice. This book is an excellent resource for those schools and districts struggling to implement the best SEI program for their LEP students." Education Leaders Council Weekly Policy Update, May 2003 "This book is very helpful not only to LEP teachers, but also to administrators who are responsible for setting up a program." Arlene Myslinski, High School ESL Teacher Buffalo Grove High School, Illinois "The strength of this b...

Sprachen lernen integriert - global, regional, lokal
Mit und in Sprachen erwerben wir nicht nur die Fähigkeit zu kommunizieren. Sprachen erschließen uns zugleich Zugänge zur Welt, zu sozialen und kulturellen Sinngebungen und individuellen, sozialen und kulturellen Identitäten und Gruppen. Wenn wir Sprachen lernen, schaffen wir uns nicht nur die Möglichkeit, mit anderen Individuen zu kommunizieren und mit ihnen zu kooperieren, sondern wir eröffnen uns zudem Möglichkeiten der Integration. Zugleich signalisieren wir, wenn wir Sprachen lernen oder deren Erlernen ermöglichen, dass wir andere Zugänge zur Welt, andere Bedeutungszuweisungen und Identitäten anerkennen. Wir geben zu erkennen, dass wir andere Sprachen wertschätzen und ihnen ge...
