Distinguished multiculturalist Sonia Nieto speaks directly to
current and future teachers in this thoughtful integration of a
selection of her key writings with creative pedagogical features.
Offering information, insights, and motivation to teach students of
diverse cultural, racial, and linguistic backgrounds, examples are
included throughout to illustrate real-life dilemmas about
diversity that teachers face in their own classrooms; ideas about
how language, culture, and teaching are linked; and ways to engage
with these ideas through reflection and collaborative inquiry.
Designed for upper-undergraduate and graduate-level students and
professional development courses, each chapter includes critical
questions, classroom activities, and community activities
suggesting projects beyond the classroom context. Language,
Culture, and Teaching * explores how language and culture are
connected to teaching and learning in educational settings; *
examines the sociocultural and sociopolitical contexts of language
and culture to understand how these contexts may affect student
learning and achievement; * analyzes the implications of linguistic
and cultural diversity for classroom practices, school reform, and
educational equity; * encourages practicing and preservice teachers
to reflect critically on their classroom practices, as well as on
larger institutional policies related to linguistic and cultural
diversity based on the above understandings; and * motivates
teachers to understand their ethical and political responsibilities
to work, together with their students, colleagues, and families,
for more socially just classrooms, schools, and society. Changes in
the Third Edition: This edition includes new and updated chapters,
section introductions, critical questions, classroom and community
activities, and resources, bringing it up-to-date in terms of
recent educational policy issues and demographic changes in the
U.S. and beyond. The new chapters reflect Nieto's current thinking
about the profession and society, especially about changes in the
teaching profession, both positive and negative, since the
publication of the second edition of this text.
