An overview of classroom and administrative issues related to the education of language minority students in the United States is presented in two sections. The section on classroom issues focuses on four topics: teaching methodologies for English as a second language; the features, titles, and sources of language proficiency assessment instruments; principles, techniques, and policies for improving mathematics skills in this group; and native and English language literacy for language minority students. The section on administrative issues discusses: a recent evaluative study of the Federal American Indian/Alaskan Native program; a transition program for refugee children; a study by several State Boards of education to help states strengthen their capacity-building for educational services to limited-English-speaking children; elements of effective counseling programs; and the Federal Education for All Handicapped Act of 1975. Each subsection contains a list of resources, and a list of resource organizations is appended. (MSE)

Gender Articulated is a groundbreaking work of sociolinguistics that forges new connections between language-related fields and feminist theory. Refuting apolitical, essentialist perspectives on language and gender, the essays presented here examine a range of cultures, languages and settings. They explicitly connect feminist theory to language research. Some of the most distinguished scholars working in the field of language and gender today discuss such topics as Japanese women's appropriation of "men's language," the literary representation of lesbian discourse, the silencing of women on the Internet, cultural mediation and Spanish use at New Mexican weddings and the uses of silence in the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas hearings.
