Download or read book The Commodification of Language written by John E. Petrovic and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-04-16 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume seeks to add to our understanding of how language is constructed in late capitalist societies. Exploring the conceptual and theoretical underpinnings of the so-called "commodification of language" and its relationship to the notion of linguistic capital, the authors examine recent research that offers implications for language policy and planning. Bringing together an international group of scholars, this collection includes chapters that address whether or not language can rightly be referred to as a commodity and, if so, under what circumstances. The different theoretical foundations of understanding language as a resource with exchange value – whether as commodity or capital – have practical implications for policy writ large. The implications of the "commodification of language" in more empirical terms are explored, both in terms of how it affects language as well as language policy at more micro levels. This includes more specific policy arenas such as language in education policy or family language policies as well as the implications for individual identity construction and linguistic communities. With a conclusion written by leading scholar David Block, this is key reading for researchers and advanced students of critical sociolinguistics, language and economy, language and politics, language policy and linguistic anthropology within linguistics, applied linguistics, and language teacher education.

Download or read book Children s School Related Talk in Chinese Immigrant Families written by Yiren Guo and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parental school involvement has been advocated as a way of sharing the responsibility for children's education. It contributes to children's academic development and supports the development of self-regulation skills and self-efficacy in studying. As one of the forms of parental school involvement, parents' school-related talk with children is a straightforward way to get involved in school life. Parents become familiar with children's school lives, get to know what happens in school, and learn what children are thinking by talking with them. Among the many ethnic groups of immigrants to the U.S., Asian students usually have higher academic achievement than other minority students. The reason why they adapt well to school work and excel among peers has often been attributed to their home environments. In Asian homes, parents provide educational activities and convey high educational expectations to children. Therefore, this book focuses on studying parent-child school-related talk in Chinese immigrant families.

Download or read book Ecological Perspectives in Early Language Education written by Mila Schwartz and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-27 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents ecological perspectives towards early language education that conceptualise the phenomenon of interactions between child language-based agency, teachers’ agency, peers’ agency and parents’ agency, consequently furthering insights into the lives of young children growing up in multilingual homes. Drawing on rich empirical research evidence, the book explores teachers’ and family strategies and practices aimed at enhancing children’s interest in home language maintenance and enrichment as well as in the novel language learning. It defines early language education as the education of children up to the age of 6 and considers international evidence of children’s language from diverse sociolinguistic backgrounds and indigenous, endangered, heritage, regional, minority, majority, and marginalized languages, as well as foreign and second languages in education at home and out-of-home settings. It claims that only through collaboration between teachers, families, peers, and close environment, can the child be engaged in early language learning and fully experience his or her potential to act as agent in a novel language learning. The book will be of great interest to researchers, academics, and postgraduate students in the fields of language education, multilingualism, applied linguistics, and early childhood education. Practitioners in these fields may also find the volume a valuable resource.

Abstract: China''s internal migration, as characterized by massive human mobility from rural to urban regions, offers an unparalleled scientific opportunity to study the impact of migration processes on children''s developmental outcomes. This dissertation explores the educational experiences of Chinese migrant children. Three interrelated studies were conducted to investigate the extent to which social support, acculturation, and psychological variables are related to Chinese migrant children''s school wellbeing. Study One developed an acculturation scale for Chinese migrant children, based on an acculturation model involving integration, assimilation, separation, and marginalization (Berry, 2003). Thirty-two items were created to tap into behavioral, psychological and social domains of migrant children''s acculturation processes. The validity of the scale was established through the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Results indicated that the Acculturation Scale for Chinese Migrant Children is a viable instrument for future investigation of acculturation orientations among migrant sample in China. Study Two investigated the mechanisms and conditions under which social support from family, teachers and peers exert influence on academic achievement of Chinese migrant children. Drawing upon the data from 2491 migrant children attending 15 elementary and middle schools, results from structural equation modeling analysis suggested that support from teachers played the most significant role in academic achievement of these students, followed by family and peer support. Psychological variables of self-esteem, hope, and school satisfaction fully mediated the effect of social support on achievement. In addition, support from family demonstrated a greater effect on academic achievement among children who have been integrated into both city and hometown contexts. Study Two concluded that it is imperative to fully understand the nature of support, as well as its conditions and underlying mechanisms, under which children from migrant backgrounds can thrive and benefit. The overall purpose of Study Three was to understand the contextual forces that shape migrant children''s family processes, school climate, and acculturation. Using semi-structured interviews with 30 migrant students plus 5 of their parents, it was found that there was a substantial in-group variation in migrant children''s educational experiences. Parenting practices among the migrant families demonstrated a combination of traditional beliefs and modern influences. Positive interactions with teachers and peers provided strong support for adjustment in the urban context. The third study concluded that the substantial in-group variation in children''s educational experiences might be related to differences in parenting ideology and practices, social support and children''s agency, all of which are further shaped by the broader cultural milieu. Positive school experiences for Chinese migrant children are vital for nurturing competent citizens who are fully engaged in social, economic and civil activities of the society. Migrant children''s school adjustment and success is a pre-requisite for social stability and economic wellbeing. Understanding how the socio-ecological factors contribute to school experiences of Chinese migrant children can provide important implication

This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is the first in-depth treatment from a linguistic perspective of the Chinese presence in Africa. It is essentially a detailed study on communication in various domains between Chinese immigrants in Cameroon and the local community with whom they interact. In eight chapters this well-organized book is able to give a relatively detailed sociolinguistic description of the host country, Cameroon, provide a good theoretical background of the study, outline the methodology used for the study which involved mainly a questionnaire survey, semi-structured interviews, and field observations before drawing conclusions to the study. This is a brilliant contribution to a growing literature on the global Chinese diaspora." - Adams Bodomo, Professor of African Studies (Chair of Linguistics and Literatures) at the University of Vienna, Austria

Download or read book Migrant Parental Decisions on Taking Children and Children s Educational Outcome in China written by Kaiyin Hu and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter carefully reviews the migration decision model and extends the literature by studying child migration in China. In my model, the migrant parent decides whether to bring a child to cities or leave him behind. The main result is that higher educated migrant parent is more likely to get a child with them. In addition, I establish a child's utility function to show that current education tuition fee encourages them to work after high school/college or attain high-quality universities. Then I explore how much people can benefit from urban schooling at an early age rather than rural schooling. I estimate the effects of urban education on an individual's final education outcome by examining the impact of one-year urban teaching before age 12 on test scores within different last schooling groups. Urban schooling at childhood has the highest positive effects on test scores for high school or college graduates.

Download or read book Chinese Immigrant Children s First Year of Schooling written by Tiffany Min-Tzu Liao and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines Chinese immigrant parents' educational experience and expectations of their children's first year of primary schooling in New Zealand. Study suggests that there is a lack of partnership concerning educational practices and goals among the teachers and the parents which results in Chinese immigrant parents' educational dissatisfaction. The parents exhibited concerns over the communication between the parents and the teachers in relation to children's learning content and progress. They were also dissatisfied about the lack of homework, discipline, and system-wide learning materials for their children's learning. They identified problems such as language, communication, and socialisation as their children's common experience. In conclusion, the research proposes that teachers should take the initiative to understand and appreciate the differences between their own and Chinese immigrant parents' educational expectations, practices, as well as their underpinning values. In order to achieve effective parent-teacher partnerships and foster positive learning experience for children, Chinee immigrant families' values, beliefs, expectations and practices need to be better understood.
