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.
