From Laura Alvarez, one of the authors of Supporting Newcomer Students, a guide on how to continue to support multilingual students' language development and rigorous learning in a remote environment. In this QRG in the new set of Strategies for Distance Learning Guides, Alvarez provides questions to guide instructional planning and key teaching moves for English learners, within a framework of 4 principles for distance learning: Facilitate meaningful interactions Build relationships Use technology purposefully Hold an inquiry stance With extensive tips for how to maintain these goals in both synchronous and asynchronous learning activities, this guide will be a go-to resource for teachers of newcomers and English learners. Each 8.5" x 11" multi-panel guide is laminated for extra durability and 3-hole-punched for binder storage.
In this much-needed book, the authors marshal research and several decades of their own experience to provide instructional practices and activities that will help teachers develop newcomers as readers and writers of English and engage them in content learning across the curriculum. Equally important, they show how teachers can advocate for these vulnerable students, many of whom have experienced multiple challenges in their home countries or in the United States, including poverty, violence and political persecution. With chapters on assessment and second-language acquisition as well as reading, writing, speaking and content learning, their book is a timely and comprehensive guide for any K-8 educator whose classroom or school includes newcomer students.
The ramifications of the trans-Saharan, trans-Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and domestic African slave trades are immeasurable, and they continue to disaffect black people from Africa to Haiti and Los Angeles to Lagos. Shackled Sentiments focuses on the memories and embodiments of slavery through case studies from western, eastern, and central Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. The contributors to this collection examine the ways that memories of slavery have been internalized. Slavery and memory are assessed from multiple perspectives: as sets of ritual practices, community-based systems of spirit veneration, mechanisms of resistance and national pride, sacred languages informing personhood, and instruments for healing and well-being. This book is recommended for scholars of anthropology, history, religion, art, and linguistics.

This volume contains a collection of papers that deal with Romance linguistics from two broad perspectives: multilingualism and language acquisition. Some of the contributions investigate these phenomena in the light of language contact, language attitudes and code switching in multilingual societies or multilingual families. Others focus on the acquisition of rhythmic patterns, intonation or even emotions in a second language. Many of the contributions present themes related to oral production or speech. The book in itself is multilingual and includes papers written in Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and English.
This timely and incisive book examines the ways in which English language proficiencies develop in newly arrived immigrant students. Beginning by describing the challenges faced by children who currently attend segregated schools in many parts of the country, the authors offer a detailed account of the developing English language proficiencies of K-3 children from one after-school intervention program. Using the experiences of these children as a lens, the authors debunk commonly held views of young children as rapid and effortless learners of new languages. Essential reading for classroom teachers, students, researchers, and policymakers, this authoritative book: Offers principles for designing an integrated practice for educating English language learners. Describes interactions between volunteer "English Buddies" and ELL children to highlight ways in which children begin to comprehend and produce English. Includes examples of materials and activities that can be used with young ELL children to engage them in new-language interactions. Analyzes the effectiveness of current practices designed to accelerate the second language acquisition process.
A tentativa de compreender como nascem as variedades de uma lingua nao pode ser dissociada da investigacao sobre os aspectos historicos que permeiam a emergencia dessas variedades. Da mesma forma, estabelecer a historia de uma comunidade requer a observacao de elementos que participaram de sua constituicao social, cultural, politica, economica etc., entre os quais a lingua ocupa um lugar de destaque. Lingua e historia se entrelacam: uma nao existe sem a outra. Esta coletanea aborda temas que interessam ao estudo dos contatos entre africanos e europeus na America Latina e na Africa, focalizando aspectos historicos e linguisticos relacionados ao papel dos africanos e suas linguas na genese de novas variedades do portugues e do espanhol.
