This presents obvious challenges for both healthcare provider and patient, and the chapters in this volume represent a range of international perspectives on language barriers in health care. A variety of factors influence the best ways of approaching and overcoming these language barriers, including cultural, geographical, political and practical considerations, and as a result a range of approaches and solutions are suggested and discussed.

This book was released on 2022-01-07 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biliteracy, or the development of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and thinking competencies in more than one language, is a complex and dynamic process. The process is even more challenging when the languages used in the literacy process differ in modality. Biliteracy development among deaf students involves the use of visual languages (i.e., sign languages) and auditory languages (spoken languages). Deaf students' sign language proficiency is strongly related to their literacy abilities. The distinction between bilingualism and multilingualism is critical to our understanding of the underserved, the linguistic deficit, and the underachievement of deaf and hard of hearing (D/HH) immigrant students, thus bringing the multilingual and immigrant aspect into the research on deaf education. Multilingual and immigrant students may face unique challenges in the course of their education. Hence, in the education of D/HH students, the intersection of issues such as biculturalism/multiculturalism, bilingualism/multilingualism, and immigration can create a dilemma for teachers and other stakeholders working with them. Deaf Education and Challenges for Bilingual/Multilingual Students is an essential reference book that provides knowledge, skills, and dispositions for teaching multicultural, multilingual, and immigrant deaf and hard of hearing students globally and identifies the challenges facing the inclusion needs of this population. This book fills a current gap in educational resources for teaching immigrant, multilingual, and multicultural deaf students in learning institutions all over the world. Covering topics such as universal design for learning, inclusion, literacy, and language acquisition, this text is crucial for classroom teachers of deaf or hard of hearing students, faculty in deaf education programs, language instructors, students, pre-service teachers, researchers, and academicians.

Book excerpt: While participation has been linked to achievement in the classroom, various external factors can change students’ willingness to participate. In this study the researcher sought to discover what participation looks like in regards to one of these factors, language. Additionally the researcher wanted to discover what students and teachers in a bilingual program thought of their own participation in regards to language. Through the use of surveys, interviews, and observations over the course of several weeks, the researcher was able to determine that many factors including student motivation, preferences, resources available, and misunderstanding all contribute to their willingness to participate in a given language.

Book excerpt: During the current conflict between Russia and the West, there are many concerns associated with the fate of the Russian language and spread of the English language. Previous research has shown a serious concern about the use of English language in the education system in Russia. Therefore, it is necessary to search the conception of using the English language, which will be adequate to the outlook of the Russians. The present study aims to investigate social and ideological barriers of implementation of bilingual education (in English and Russian) in St. Petersburg universities and to find a way of possible development bilingual education in future. The author conducts the expert research by formalized interviews. The sampling method: convenience sample. The results: despite the fact that the experts recognize that knowledge of English is useful in worldwide perspectives, the spread of the English language as a language of instruction at Russian universities is alarming. Education in only English without Russian is unacceptable. The Russian language should have priority in Russian university education; however, English can be one of working languages especially if it is possible to understand it as a financial investment and it will be proved that English can give financial profit. The results show a wide range of barriers, from concern for the preservation of national identity to fears that social change will occur more rapidly and existing knowledge can be devalued under the influence of English spread. However, economic motivation is very important and English can be accepted as a way to economic success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing a wide range of issues in applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, and multilingualism, this volume focuses on language users, the ‘people.’ Making creative connections between existing scholarship in language policy and contemporary theory and research in other social sciences, authors from around the world offer new critical perspectives for analyzing language phenomena and language theories, suggesting new meeting points among language users and language policy makers, norms, and traditions in diverse cultural, geographical, and historical contexts. Identifying and expanding on previously neglected aspects of language studies, the book is inspired by the work of Elana Shohamy, whose critical view and innovative work on a broad spectrum of key topics in applied linguistics has influenced many scholars in the field to think “out of the box” and to reconsider some basic commonly held understandings, specifically with regard to the impact of language and languaging on individual language users rather than on the masses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “p> The Gift of Making a Child Happy Many parents think that only a school can teach their child to fully understand language, reading and writing. This book simply and easily describes how the opposite is true! School needs your help if your child is to do well. Dealing with early speech, and later reading and writing, this book makes you a complete expert in the field! Parents are excellent teachers in the early years of a child's life because they know at any one time exactly what the child can do at this stage of his life. Do you remember making your child smile for the first time, coaxing his first steps or first word? Intuitively you only ever set him a task which you knew was within his range of ability. Then, you began moving the targets by getting him to attempt something slightly more difficult than the things he could already do. So you see, from the minute your child was born you were already, constantly teaching him new skills. This teaching shouldn't stop when your child goes to nursery or play school. Once you understand the role of language in learning, you will find teaching school topics becomes easier and your child will learn faster. See for yourself how easy the process can be. Enable you and your child to enjoy learning. This book is the perfect gift for anyone you know with young children in their lives, including teachers!

Download or read book The Benefits Of Having One Universal Language The Problems With Communication Barriers And Language Barriers And How The Tourism Industry Is Adversely Affected By Language Differences written by Dr Harrison Sachs and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-07 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on the benefits of having one universal language, identifies the problems with communication barriers and language barriers, and elucidates how the tourism industry is adversely affected by language differences. The growing demand for prospective workforce participants, students, to be bilingual has convinced school districts to force students to enroll in language classes which takes away time that they could otherwise utilize to learn pragmatic skills if communication was parred down to a single universal language. Additionally, the existence of language barriers limit a company's hiring options to solely employees who are fluent in the company's native language. Moreover, language barriers elicit communication inefficiencies, especially since communication between foreign business parties is eminently stifled by language barriers when translators are needed to translate dialogue. Implementing a universal language would not only eliminate the language barriers and allow people to be able to qualify to potentially earn a job in their respective niche field any in the world, but would also boost product sales since products, such as movies and books, can more easily be understand. The tourism industry cannot reach it apex and maximum its revenue potential when foreigners cannot effectively communicate when visiting foreign countries. This causes businesses to miss out on securing the lifetime values of prospective customers. Communication and language barriers pervade ample foreign markets and are unfortunately disadvantageous to economic growth, employment, and the standard of living.

This book was released on 2011-03-14 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grounded in state-of-the-art research, this book explores how English language learners develop both the oral language and literacy skills necessary for school success. Chapters examine the cognitive bases of English acquisition, and how the process is different for children from alphabetic (such as Spanish) and nonalphabetic (such as Chinese) language backgrounds. The book addresses a key challenge facing educators and clinicians: identifying students whose poor English skills may indicate an underlying impairment, as opposed to still-developing language proficiency. Implications for diagnosis, intervention, and instruction are highlighted throughout.
