Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On the first day at my new school, my teacher, Miss Soria, gave me a sticker that said Ren? Colato. The sticker was missing my second last name. Maybe Miss Soria's pen ran out of ink. I took my pencil and added it. Now it looked right: Ren? Colato La?nez." Young Ren? is from El Salvador, and he doesn't understand why his name has to be different in the United States. When he writes Colato, he sees his paternal grandparents, Ren? and Amelia. When he writes La?nez, he sees his maternal grandparents, Angela and Julio. Without his second last name, Ren? feels incomplete, "like a hamburger without the meat or a pizza without cheese or a hot dog without a wiener." His new classmates giggle when Ren? tells them his name. "That's a long dinosaur name," one says. "Your name is longer than an anaconda," another laughs. But Ren? doesn't want to lose the part of him that comes from his mother's family. So when the students are given a project to create a family tree, Ren? is determined to explain the importance of using both of his last names. On the day of his presentation, Ren? explains that he is as hard working as Abuelo Ren?, who is a farmer, and as creative as his Abuela Amelia, who is a potter. He can tell stories like his Abuelo Julio and enjoys music like his Abuela Angela. This charming bilingual picture book for children ages 4 - 8 combines the winning team of author Ren? Colato La?nez and illustrator Fabiola Graullera Ram?rez, and follows their award-winning collaboration, I Am Ren?, the Boy / Soy Ren?, el ni?o . With whimsical illustrations and entertaining text, this sequel is sure to please fans and gain many new ones while explaining an important Hispanic cultural tradition.

This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language Learning and Intercultural Understanding in the Primary School shows how to deliver a progressive and holistic embedded language curriculum. It provides guidance on inclusive approaches for students with English as an additional language, including native speakers in the target language as well as language awareness activities that maximise links with learning in English. Practical and accessible, it contains classroom examples, plans, resources and pedagogical approaches all underpinned by theory, research and practice. Each chapter examines specific themes relating to language, culture, identity and wellbeing, providing rich discussions and a range of perspectives. Case studies ‘bring to life’ the examples provided, and reflection points offer the reader the opportunity to pause and consider an idea, resource, or challenging concept before moving on. Presenting a lived narrative of shared voices, the authors invite readers to learn about their own cultural and linguistic identities and how these relate to their practice. This is a must-read for teachers, language specialists and school leaders who wish for a clear rationale for the role of language, culture, identity and wellbeing within and beyond the curriculum.
