Language proficiency is multidimensional. While conversational
skills are essential for social interaction, they are insufficient
for most academic purposes. To be successful, teachers and students
must acquire a firm and accurate command of subject-area
vocabulary. Even though a growing number of Americans speak Spanish
at home, the United States has a severe shortage of professionals
with fully developed academic skills in Spanish. This poses a
special challenge for bilingual classrooms. Educators must be able
to identify "la palabra justa" - the right word - in preparing or
presenting a lesson, especially when providing content instruction
and second-language input at the same time. Recognizing an acute
need, the editors of this volume brought together an international
team of language teachers, teacher educators, and other bilingual
professionals to create an English-Spanish / Espanol-Ingles
glossary. "La Palabra Justa" features more than 24,000 entries
covering the academic vocabulary needed in K-12 education. Unlike a
dictionary, the glossary offers a quick, user-friendly way to find
translations of key terms in context. Sections include: Language
Arts (Grammar & Composition, Literature, and Languages);
Mathematics (Arithmetic & Algebra, Geometry, Probability &
Data Analysis, Numbers & Measures); Science (Earth Sciences,
Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Inquiry & Process);
Social Studies (Civics & Government, Economics & Finance,
Geography, and History); Fine Arts (Performing Arts and Visual
Arts); Technology; and School Life (Holidays & Celebrations,
School Routines & Activities, Field Trips & Transportation,
School Library, Playground & Sports, Student Health, Special
Needs, Conduct & Discipline).
