Download or read book Forked Tongue written by Rosalie Pedalino Porter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today children who are not fluent in English—legal and illegal immigrants, refugees, and native born—are the fastest growing portion of our population, accounting for more than half the children in classrooms in many city schools. Bilingual education programs established by federal and state laws have required that such students be taught basic subjects in their native languages rather than in English. Judged by most applicable measures—such as achievement scores and dropout rates—these programs have not been successful. This edition includes new material on recent efforts to reform bilingual education, on the growing trend across the country toward English language programs, on the latest national research studies, and on the movement to make English the official language of the United States. Forked Tongue is a devastating inside account of how the twenty-eight-year experiment in bilingual education has failed our language-minority children—and why. Rosalie Porter draws on local, state, and international experience to provide us with the first authoritative account of which policies, programs, and practices actually succeed with the children they are intended to serve. Forked Tongue will be of interest to educators, sociologists, and scholars interested in second language acquisition.

Download or read book The Latino Education Crisis written by Patricia Gándara and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-10 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will the United States have an educational caste system in 2030? Drawing on both extensive demographic data and compelling case studies, this powerful book reveals the depths of the educational crisis looming for Latino students, the nation’s largest and most rapidly growing minority group.Richly informative and accessibly written, The Latino Education Crisis describes the cumulative disadvantages faced by too many children in the complex American school systems, where one in five students is Latino. Many live in poor and dangerous neighborhoods, attend impoverished and underachieving schools, and are raised by parents who speak little English and are the least educated of any ethnic group.The effects for the families, the community, and the nation are sobering. Latino children are behind on academic measures by the time they enter kindergarten. And while immigrant drive propels some to success, most never catch up. Many drop out of high school and those who do go on to college—often ill prepared and overworked—seldom finish.Revealing and disturbing, The Latino Education Crisis is a call to action and will be essential reading for everyone involved in planning the future of American schools.
Download or read book Bilingual Education written by María Estela Brisk and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a timely and important book for anyone concerned about the future of bilingual education in America. Written by Stephen Krashen, the nation's foremost expert on second language acquisition, it disproves many of the false assumptions and outright distortions that led to the passage of Proposition 227 in California. Now, as some of those same arguments proliferate in other states, Krashen explains the bases for five of these key beliefs, and proves-step-by-step-why they are wrong: Bilingual education is responsible for the high Hispanic dropout rate. In fact, studies show reduced and even no difference in dropout rates when background factors are controlled. Most immigrants succeeded without bilingual education. Krashen argues that many immigrants arrived here having had a de facto bilingual education in their countries of origin; and that until the last half of this century, economic success was not so strongly dependent on school success. The United States is the only nation that has bilingual education. There is ample evidence of bilingual programs not only existing, but also succeeding in countries like Norway and the Netherlands. Bilingual education failed in California. The author explores flaws in the methods of various studies and counters with other reasons why bilingual education students may not thriveNincluding widespread poverty and lack of reading materials. The public is against bilingual education. This argument, propagated by the media, proves false when one examines the biased language used in survey after survey. In its careful delineation of the real issues, Condemned Without a Trial gives educators, administrators, parents, and voters the essential understanding-and evidence-they have heretofore been denied.
