Language and Learning in Multilingual Classrooms

Teaching the World's Children
The language young children use is the language they learn. In clear, practical terms, this primer explains how early childhood educators of young children up to the age of nine can support the efforts of non-English-speaking children in nursery schools, infant schools, day care centers and classrooms to use - and learn - English as a second language. Loaded with original ideas and down-to-earth, practical advice, this book - widely revised and considerably expanded in this, its second edition - is an essential guide to developing a sensitive, caring and welcoming program for all the world's children.
Born to Learn
The first smile, the first laugh, the first word... These are the eagerly anticipated and treasured moments in a child's early life. From the moment they're born, children are ready to experiment and learn about communicating -- whether with the cries of a hungry infant, the chuckles of a baby playing peek-a-boo, or the emphatic "No!" of an independent toddler. As parents and caregivers, our love for the young children in our lives points the way for us in responding to their needs and wants. But there are many ways that we can turn those responses into opportunities to nurture our children's developing understanding of language, and to start them on the path of becoming successful and lifel...

Look at Me when I Talk to You
Communicating involves much more than memorizing vocabulary and learning grammar rules. As more and more students whose first language is not English are welcomed into our classrooms, teachers are finding that communicating effectively with this diverse population requires a sensitivity to cultural issues that affect the way people interact with one another. In this revised, expanded and updated edition of Look at Me When I Talk to You, Sylvia Helmer and Catherine Eddy explore the underlying fundamentals of communication to show how culture influences the messages sent - and received. Elements of both the theory and practice of communicating in a multicultural setting are discussed, and examples from real classrooms illustrate the issues that can, and do, arise. Practical suggestions for helping students learn to cope in their new culture make this book a must-read for all teachers working with students who are learning English as an additional language.

Composing A Care of the Self
What do Germ Theory, self-psychology, the entrepreneur and the Bertillion Card have in common? They comprise a part of the historical dispositif for the emergence of the writing portfolio. This riveting Foucaultian-inspired genealogy travels through the history of medicine, criminality, psychology, political economics to reveal the epistemologies and practices of power/knowledge of the contemporary portfolio. In so doing, it challenges previous held beliefs about the germination of the secondary school, prevailing views of the dawning of secondary English as a discipline, and most important, the costs and effects of progressivist’s writing pedagogies and assessment instruments. Carlson & A...
