This book describes the development process and dynamics of change in the course of implementing a two-way bilingual immersion education program in two school communities. The focus is on the language and literacy learning of elementary-school students and on how it is influenced by parents, teachers, and policymakers. Perez provides rich, highly detailed descriptions, both quantitative and qualitative, of the change process at the two schools involved, including student language and achievement data for five years of program implementation that were used to test the basic two-way bilingual theory, the specific school interventions, and the particular classroom instructional practices. The contribution of Becoming Biliterate: A Study of Two-Way Bilingual Immersion Education is to provide a comprehensive description of contextual and instructional factors that might help or hinder the attainment of successful literacy and student outcomes in both languages. The study has broad theoretical, policy, and practical instructional relevance for the many other U.S. school districts with large student populations of non-native speakers of English. This volume is highly relevant for researchers, teacher educators, and graduate students in bilingual and ESL education, language policy, linguistics, and language education, and as a text for master's- and doctoral-level classes in these areas.

Sociocultural Contexts of Language and Literacy, Second Edition engages prospective and in-service teachers in learning about linguistically and culturally diverse students, and in using this knowledge to enrich literacy learning in classrooms and communities. The text is grounded in current research and theory that integrate sociocultural and constructivist concepts and perspectives and provide a framework teachers can use to develop strategies for teaching reading, writing, and thinking to diverse students. The focus on English literacy development does not imply advocacy for "English only" or ESL as the primary mode of literacy instruction. Rather, the authors take the position that learners need to develop literacy in their native language and that the concepts and skills learned in developing the native language create a foundation of strength from which students can develop English literacy. Part I introduces relevant research and language learning theories. Part II provides research reviews and information about literacy learning within specific culturally and linguistically diverse communities. The chapters in Part III challenge the reader to view the multiple social, intellectual, cultural, and language differences children bring to the classroom as an opportunity for learning and building on the diversity among students. Activities and suggested readings at the end of each chapter involve readers in reflection, observation, meaning making, and the construction of application processes for their new understandings. New in the Second Edition:updated research and theory on multilingual and second language literacy;a focus on the interpretation of these research findings to make them useful for teachers and teacher educators in understanding and articulating the research bases for literacy practices; attention to current intensely debated issues, such as standards, the phonics movement, and high-

La lepra, tambien conocida como enfermedad de Hansen, es un proceso infeccioso cronico causado por el bacilo Mycobacterium leprae, que afecta principalmente la piel, nervios perifericos, mucosa respiratorias altas y ojos. En Mexico representa un problema de Salud Publica con 533 casos prevalentes y una incidencia de 228 casos al cierre de 2012 donde Colima, ha ocupado por varios anos a nivel nacional los primeros lugares en casos de prevalencia. Considerando los organos que son blanco de esta enfermedad, en este libro analizamos como la lepra impacta la calidad de vida del paciente que padece y tambien al que ha sido dado de alta, al afectar la funcionalidad de 10 de sus actividades cotidianas, tambien llamadas de la vida diaria, actividades a las que el paciente debe en gran medida su independencia funcional. Vaya pues un reconocimiento a todas aquellas personas que padecen o han padecido lepra o alguna otra enfermedad incapacitante y que, dia a dia, luchan por superar sus dificultades, en particular a los pacientes de la Asociacion Club Amigos de Betania IAP en Colima, Mexico sin cuyo apoyo, la presente investigacion no hubiese sido posible.
