Focusing on the lives and experiences of four Mexican children in
an American middle school, the critically acclaimed author of Con
Respeto examines both the policy and the instructional dilemmas
that surround the English language education of immigrant children
in this country. Using samples and analysis of the children's oral
and written language as well as an examination of their classrooms,
school, and community, this book addresses the difficulties
surrounding the teaching and learning of English for second
language learners. This comprehensive volume discusses: * classroom
activities * the amount of time it takes to ""learn"" English * how
English language learning affects learning in other areas * the
consequences of linguistic isolation * how ESL students are tested
It also presents exclusive data on academic English development at
various stages in a two-year process that raise important questions
about current ESL teaching policies.
