Download or read book Research Anthology on Bilingual and Multilingual Education written by Management Association, Information Resources and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page 1656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the boost in global immigration and migration, as well as the emphasis on creating inclusive classrooms, research is turning to the challenges that teachers face with the increasing need for bilingual and multilingual education. The benefits of bilingual education are widespread, allowing students to develop important cognitive skills such as critical thinking and problem solving as well as opening further career opportunities later in life. However, very few resources are available for the successful practice and implementation of this education into the curriculum, with an even greater lack of appropriate cultural representation in the classroom. Thus, it is essential for educators to remain knowledgeable on the emerging strategies and procedures available for making bilingual and multilingual education successful. The Research Anthology on Bilingual and Multilingual Education is a comprehensive reference source on bilingual and multilingual education that offers the latest insights on education strategy and considerations on the language learners themselves. This research anthology features a diverse collection of authors, offering valuable global perspectives on multilingual education. Covering topics such as gamification, learning processes, and teaching models, this anthology serves as an essential resource for professors, teachers, pre-service teachers, faculty of K-12 and higher education, government officials, policymakers, researchers, and academicians with an interest in key strategy and understanding of bilingual and multilingual education.

Download or read book The Development and Initial Evaluation of an Oral Language Assessment Tool for Young People Caught Up in the Legal System written by Mark Stephenson and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been increasing awareness over the past decade that young people in Youth Justice have significantly high levels of oral language difficulty. Many of the processes and practices of youth justice assume normal or even high levels of language competence, hence there is a need to incorporate this knowledge of oral language difficulty into such processes and practices. Currently, there is little knowledge about the issue among professions involved in Youth Justice in Aotearoa New Zealand, and little study of the nature of need in this context. It is likely that changes need to be embedded in existing services, as specialist Speech language therapists are unlikely to be available in sufficient numbers to provide a specific service. For example, there are few assessment tools that do not assume specialist capacity to use them (such as that of a Speech language therapist) but it is mostly youth justice staff who need to be able to assess young people. Therefore, this study set out to develop, do an initial trial, and evaluate a criterion referenced oral language assessment tool for young people involved in the youth justice system that could ultimately be used by non-Speech language therapists. The process involved firstly consulting Youth Justice practitioners on their observations of the communication abilities of the young people they dealt with. This information to develop an online survey which was then sent out to Youth Justice practitioners. Thirty-three responses were received. Existing language assessments were surveyed for their effectiveness with the youth justice population, and the information from these sources was used to construct an instrument – The Oral Language Assessment Tool, or OLAT-YJ . The OLAT-YJ was then trialled with a sample of 18 young males, incarcerated in youth justice residences in Aotearoa New Zealand. Results included a comparison of the performance of the young people on this tool to that of their performance on a norm-referenced language assessment. The trial indicated that some parts of the OLAT-YJ seemed to be both accurate and insightful as to the nature of language difficulties relevant to the Youth Justice system. Some parts were less effective. Recommended revisions, limitations and future directions are discussed.
Download or read book Record of Oral Language written by Marie Clay and published by Heinemann Educational Books. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proficiency in oral language has long been considered important by teachers for self-expression and for communicating ideas. Children who are learning to speak English catch on to the rules: first by grasping the early structures then those of medium difficulty and finally those of greater difficulty. Awareness of features that will allow a learner to master a wide range of structural knowledge about English sentences should help teachers develop more powerful language programmes. This book describes a technique for recording and assessing change in children's oral language development. It was developed for research studies of young children from three ethnic groups but has been widely used in New Zealand, Australia, Britain, and the United States. Experience has shown that Record of Oral Language helps practising teachers to observe and understand changes in young children's language. The book is directed towards teachers who wish to do this. Young children's control of English is assumed to increase gradually over most of their school years. The changes occurring can be monitored through the use of this Record of Oral Language and of another assessment called Biks and Gutches, which you will find in a companion volume. Teachers could judge from either or both of these assessments which children have made poor, average, or good progress. These techniques are appropriate: for children of four to seven years of age with English as a mother tongue for up to five years after children begin to learn English as another language. Performance on these tasks can be used to select children for more intensive attention to oral language learning or to check what changes have occurred in children's language as a result of particular instruction. Change over time can be an important indicator of whether a particular child will know how to learn more about language for themselves in the future.
