One of the most crucial areas of education - the development of
oral language and the acquisition of literacy - is examined here
with an effective combination of theory and practice. The
sociocultural perspective is illustrated through descriptions of
learning by populations usually neglected in treatments of
literacy: American Sign Language Users, second-language speakers
and minority students. The book covers a broad range of ages,
ethnic backgrounds, locations, and literacy concerns from
pre-school to law school. Although the populations and literacy
issues are diverse, the book's unity is provided by a broadly
shared theoretical framework. As such, Interactionist Approaches to
Language and Literacy will be valuable to educators at every level
and to researchers in applied linguistics, psychology, adult
literacy programs, and English as a second language.
