Download or read book Bilingual Community Education and Multilingualism written by Ofelia García and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2012-09-15 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book takes up the lens of ethnolinguistic communities as they proudly educate their own children in their ways of speaking and being. These bilingual community education programs are unlike bilingual programs in US public schools, where speakers of languages other than English are often minoritized. In these programs, the children's linguistic and cultural diversity are their most valuable assets. But these bilingual community education programs are also different from how others have characterized ???heritage language??? programs. In these bilingual community education programs diasporic ethnolinguistic communities ensure that their children use their ways of speaking and being within a US global context. Thus, their interest is not in their heritage, as the language and the culture was performed in the past, in another space, but as a dynamic bilingualism and biculturalism that is performed by American children."--publisher website.

Book excerpt: The discourse on education of students who come to school with a language and cultural background other than English has been stuck on the issue of language choice. Arguments in favor of bilingual education stress the advantages of using the native language of the students. Those against list the benefits of English-only instruction. The political struggle to defend the existence of bilingual education in schools has also dissipated too much energy in the search of a "perfect" model. The recent history of bilingual education is replete with various models all posing as panaceas. Evaluation of programs based on models are unreliable because models do not teach and rarely learn. Overreliance on particular models often detracts from analyzing what actually happens in schools. Many concerned educators realize that in order to improve the education of bilingual students we need to go beyond the debate on language choice and support for particular models. Education of bilingual students is a complex enterprise impossible to address with simple formulas. It is not, however, an impossible quest. We can create good schools for bilingual students. There is abundant research and experience to prove it despite claims to the contrary. The pieces of the educational puzzle exist but they are scattered. The major pieces include the research on effective schools, language, and culture; the role of families; and the characteristics of the students themselves. This book not only synthesizes such research but also provides a personal testament to what the author has observed in classrooms, in consulting with schools, and in training teachers. The results are presented as specific conditions for creating quality schools, developing comprehensive bilingual and bicultural curricula, and using appropriate instructional practices. The book provides a multifaceted and flexible framework for implementation and evaluation of bilingual education. Rigor does not always require rigidity. The best educational practices originate from knowing students, their families, and communities. Rather than following a prescribed model, schools can work on discrete aspects of the program in order to create a successful whole for their particular community.
