This book provides targeted suggestions that educators can use to
ensure successful teaching and learning with today's growing
population of transnational, multilingual students. The text offers
insights based on the author's observations, interactions, and
interviews with second-generation immigrant children, their
families, and their teachers in the United States and South Korea.
These collected stories give educators a better understanding of
how elementary school children engage in language, literacy, and
learning in and across spaces and countries; the forms of unique
linguistic and cultural knowledge immigrant children build, expand,
and mobilize as they move across contexts; the ways in which
immigrant children position themselves and represent their
identities; and how educators and researchers can honor these
children's identities and unique talents. Featuring children's
narratives, drawings, writings, maps, and photographs, this
resource is must-reading for educators and researchers seeking to
create more inclusive learning spaces and literacy practices.Book
