Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook is intended as a guide for non-educators who want to learn how to tutor individuals in literacy tasks. A short introductory section is included that is devoted to theory, but only as much as necessary to allow tutors to make reasonable instructional decisions about their students. The remainder of the book focuses on the practical aspects of instruction in literacy for those who have no formal training in teaching. Because many tutors work without the supervision of professional educators, the book seeks to make tutors independent in their instruction. Initially, a 6-point procedure for tutoring lessons in literacy is outlined. Subsequent chapters provide specific teaching and learning strategies for each of the six points. The book represents an effort to combine whole language literacy learning techniques with a lesson structure that is manageable for tutors and yet sufficiently flexible to meet the needs of the students effectively. Suggested record-keeping procedures are outlined, and the text includes a chapter containing the record-keeping forms as well as directions for their use. At the end of each chapter is a summary of the important points from the chapter, as well as a section of questions and statements for the tutor to reflect upon and respond to.

This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a unique glimpse into the teaching approaches and thinking of a wide range of well-known literacy researchers, and the lessons they have learned from their own teaching lives. The contributors teach in a variety of universities, programs, and settings. Each shares an approach he or she has used in a course, and introduces the syllabus for this course through personal reflections that give the reader a sense of the theories, prior experiences, and influential authors that have shaped their own thoughts and approaches. In addition to describing the nature of their students and the program in which the course is taught, many authors also share key issues with which they have grappled over the years while teaching their course; others discuss considerations that were relevant during the preparation of this particular syllabus or describe how it evolved in light of student input. The book is organized by areas within literacy education: reading; English/language arts; literature; emergent literacy; content-area literacy; literacy assessment and instruction; literacy and technology; and inquiries into literacy, theory, and classroom practice. It is accompanied by an interactive Web site: http://msit.gsu.edu/handbook. This online resource provides additional information about the authors' courses including complete syllabi, recommended readings, grading rubrics, and sample assignments. Readers are invited to respond and contribute their own syllabi and teaching experiences to the discourse generated by the volume.

Download or read book Handbook of Research on Cultivating Literacy in Diverse and Multilingual Classrooms written by Neokleous, Georgios and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-03-27 with total page 767 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literacy has traditionally been associated with the linguistic and functional ability to read and write. Although literacy, as a fundamental issue in education, has received abundant attention in the last few decades, most publications to date have focused on monolingual classrooms. Language teacher educators have a responsibility to prepare teachers to be culturally responsive and flexible so they can adapt to the range of settings and variety of learners they will encounter in their careers while also bravely questioning the assumptions they are encountering about multilingual literacy development and instruction. The Handbook of Research on Cultivating Literacy in Diverse and Multilingual Classrooms is an essential scholarly publication that explores the multifaceted nature of literacy development across the lifespan in a range of multilingual contexts. Recognizing that literacy instruction in contemporary language classrooms serving diverse student populations must go beyond developing reading and writing abilities, this book sets out to explore a wide range of literacy dimensions. It offers unique perspectives through a critical reflection on issues related to power, ownership, identity, and the social construction of literacy in multilingual societies. As a resource for use in language teacher preparation programs globally, this book will provide a range of theoretical and practical perspectives while creating space for pre- and in-service teachers to grapple with the ideas in light of their respective contexts. The book will also provide valuable insights to instructional designers, curriculum developers, linguists, professionals, academicians, administrators, researchers, and students.

The third part includes five case studies that offer practical illustrations of literacy work in the following contexts: tutoring for a woman who has been in Britain for 5 years but has a very limited vocabulary and range of grammatical structures, a nonnative speaker of English whose spoken English is fairly fluent but whose writing skills are minimal, an office worker who needs advanced training in notetaking and reading reports to receive a promotion, the Manor Street School Group (a daytime ESL class for Asian women with varying English skills and educational backgrounds), and the Priory Basic Education Group (an evening study group catering to native and nonnative speakers of English whose needs range from basic reading to formal letter writing).
