Download or read book Education in Languages of Lesser Power written by Craig Alan Volker and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-02-15 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cultural diversity of the Asia-Pacific region is reflected in a multitude of linguistic ecologies of languages of lesser power, i.e., of indigenous and immigrant languages whose speakers lack collective linguistic power, especially in education. This volume looks at a representative sampling of such communities. Some receive strong government support, while others receive none. For some indigenous languages, the same government schools that once tried to stamp out indigenous languages are now the vehicles of language revival. As the various chapters in this book show, some parents strongly support the use of languages other than the national language in education, while others are actively against it, and perhaps a majority have ambivalent feelings. The overall meta-theme that emerges from the collection is the need to view the teaching and learning of these languages in relation to the different needs of the speakers within a sociolinguistics of mobility.

Book excerpt: This book identifies some of the aspirations and concerns of Maori parents for, and about, their children's education. It provides valuable insights which may contribute to shaping better home-school relationships for Maori parents and children. The parents in the study wanted their children to have a better education than they had, and expressed a strong wish to be involved in their child's schooling. The key factor is school outreach. When teachers reach out into the community, showing their respect for the relationships and activities which matter for Maori parents and their children, partnerships with parents appear to be more readily achieved. How well Maori children do at school is strongly linked towith how well parents and children relate to school staff.
