Language, Culture, and Education
Exploring language, culture and education among immigrants in the United States, this volume discusses the range of experiences in raising children with more than one language in major ethno-linguistic groups in New York. Research and practice from the fields of speech-language pathology, bilingual education, and public health in immigrant families are brought together to provide guidance for speech-language pathologists in differentiating language disorders from language variation, and for parents on how to raise their children with more than one language. Commonalities among dissimilar groups, such as Chinese, Korean, and Hispanic immigrants are analyzed, as well as the language needs of Arab-Americans, the home literacy practices of immigrant parents who speak Mixteco and Spanish, and the crucial role of teachers in bridging immigrants' classroom and home contexts. These studies shed new light on much-needed policy reforms to improve the involvement of culturally and linguistically diverse families in decisions affecting their children's education.

In these situations, there is often an adult who acts like a parent but who is unconnected to the child through biogenetics, marriage, or adoption—the common paths for establishing legal parenthood. In many countries, this person is called a “social parent.” Psychologically, and especially from a child’s point of view, a social p...

CSR und Tourismus
Dieses Buch wird dem Leser eine Antwort auf die Fragen geben, wie sich die Tourismusindustrie in Bezug auf CSR Maßnahmen in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten entwickelt hat und wie positiv diese Maßnahmen heutzutage für verschiedene Tourismusbereiche, wie beispielsweise Reiseveranstalter, Destination, Hotels und NGOs gesehen werden. Die Wichtigkeit freiwilliger CSR Maßnahmen ist heute kaum noch umstritten und sie werden bereits in die Geschäftspraktiken vieler Tourismusbetriebe mit einbezogen. Diese Maßnahmen dienen unter anderem dem verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit natürlichen Ressourcen, von denen eine erfolgreiche Tourismusindustrie ebenso abhängt, wie von der Zufriedenheit der lokalen Bevölkerung, der Mitarbeiter, den Zuliefererbetrieben und der Gäste.
