Download or read book The Politics Of Language written by Pastora Cafferty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-21 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demographers predict that by the end of the century Spanish-speaking persons will constitute the largest minority group in the United States--in this context, bilingual education must be considered a crucial issue for educators and policymakers at the state, national, and local levels. Professors Cafferty and Rivera-Martínez analyze bilingual education policies and programs, particularly as they affect the Puerto Rican child, and reach some startling conclusions. They find that these programs do not, despite the best intentions, offer the equal opportunity and social mobility that has been their purpose. While the authors attempt to neither examine nor define the general problem of bilingual education methodology, they do address the problem of educating the Puerto Rican child as one minority among many. They suggest alternatives for solving the problem and recommend specific policies for federal, state, and local governments attempting to integrate Spanish-speaking minorities into the educational process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the purposes and functions of Spanish and English in an English as a second language high school classroom in Puerto Rico. A qualitative method was used to identify, describe, and analyze the uses of Spanish and English by the ESL teachers and students. The study explored the use of the L1 as a tool for L2 learning as well as the contexts that most facilitated language learning. A total of six twelfth grade students participated in the study, as well as two ESL teachers and the school principal. Classroom observations made over the course of two weeks, one-on-one interviews with each participant, and English curricular guides and standards from Puerto Rico's Department of Education were used to collect the data and triangulate the results. Major findings reveal that teachers and students employed Spanish and English for different purposes. Spanish had a cultural and identity meaning; it mainly had a social and conversational purpose whereas English was used for administrative purposes (e.g., deadlines). Findings also demonstrated that the political relationship of Puerto Rico with the United States has an impact on the teaching and learning of English on the island, which meant that high school students and teachers resisted the teaching and learning of English because it was associated with a loss of political independence and a thread to Puerto Rican cultural identity. Further research on the use of Spanish in the ESL classroom in Puerto Rico and its effects on L2 acquisition was recommended to gain a deeper understanding of the low level of English language proficiency among students in the public school system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do educators balance the rights of the rapidly growing percentage of the United States' population whose first language is not English or whose English differs from standard usage with the rights of the majority of students whose first and generally only language is English? This two-volume set addresses the complicated and divisive issues at the heart of the debate over language diversity and the English Only movement in the U.S. public education. Blending social, political, and legal analyses of the ideologies of language with perspectives on the impact of the English Only movement on education and on classrooms at all levels, Language Ideologies: Critical Perspectives on the Official English Movement offers a wide range of perspectives that teachers and literacy advocates can use to inform practice as well as policy. This exhaustive, two-volume collection not only updates existing information on the English Only movement in the United States, but also includes the international context, looking at the emergence of English as a world language through a postcolonial lens. The complexity of the debate is also reflected in the exceptionally diverse list of contributors, who speak from varying disciplines and backgrounds including sociology, linguistics, university administration, the ACLU, law, ESL, and English. Both volumes explore the political, legislative, and social implications of language ideologies. Volume 1: Education and the Social Implications of Official Language focuses in particular on the consequences for the classroom. In Volume 2: History, Theory, and Policy, the focus is on the implications for policymakers and language-program administrators.
Download or read book The Unlinking of Language and Puerto Rican Identity written by Brenda Domínguez-Rosado and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language and identity have an undeniable link, but what happens when a second language is imposed on a populace? Can a link be broken or transformed? Are the attitudes towards the imposed language influential? Can these attitudes change over time? The mixed-methods results provided by this book are ground-breaking because they document how historical and traditional attitudes are changing towards both American English (AE) and Puerto Rican Spanish (PRS) on an island where the population has been subjected to both Spanish and US colonization. There are presently almost four million people living in Puerto Rico, while the Puerto Rican diaspora has surpassed it with more than this living in the United States alone. Because of this, many members of the diaspora no longer speak PRS, yet consider themselves to be Puerto Rican. Traditional stances against people who do not live on the island or speak the predominant language (PRS) yet wish to identify themselves as Puerto Rican have historically led to prejudice and strained relationships between people of Puerto Rican ancestry. The sample study provided here shows that there is not only a change in attitude towards the traditional link between PRS and Puerto Rican identity (leading to the inclusion of diasporic Puerto Ricans), but also a wider acceptance of the English language itself on this Caribbean island.
