This book offers an exciting new perspective on language
socialization in Latino families. Tackling mainstream views of
childhood and the role and nature of language socialization,
leading researchers and teacher trainers provide a historical,
political, and cultural context for the language attitudes and
socialization practices that help determine what and how Latino
children speak, read, and write. Representing a radical departure
from the ways in which most educators have been taught to think
about first language acquisition and second language learning, this
timely volume: introduces the theories and methods of language
socialization with memorable case studies of children and their
families; highlights the diversity of Latino communities, covering
children and caretakers of Mexican, Caribbean, and Central American
origin living in Chicago, San Antonio, the San Francisco Bay Area,
Los Angeles, San Diego, Miami, Tucson, and New York City; offers
important insights into the ways in which children learn to speak
and read by negotiating overlapping and/or conflicting cultural
models; and suggests universal practices to facilitate language
socialization in multilingual communities, including applications
for teachers.
