Language Minority Students in American Schools: An Education in English (ESL and Applied Linguistics Professional Series) (Paperback)
by H. Douglas Adamson (Author)
Editorial Reviews
Review
'Language Minority Students in American Schools' provides a well-written, often humorous introduction to its field. Written primarily for a lay audience, those more familiar with the educational and linguistic theories it introduces may wish to skim over some sections, but will no doubt find something of interest in the later chapters. Novices looking for further guidance are also well-served by the suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter.... an innovative take on minority education issues and excellent balance between theory and real-life examples.
—Linguist List
The scope and breadth of the book makes it a valuable research and reference tool, allowing ESL teachers and educators to explore and discover the various topics covered in the book from different angles of approach set within a variety of contextual backgrounds. Highly recommended for student ESL teachers as well as for already qualified and experienced ESL practitioners and educators who want to solidify, deepen and refresh their existing knowledge.
—TESL-EJ
...a particularly important text as it brings linguistic theory to those working on the ground in minority education.....provides a well-written, often humorous introduction to its field. Written primarily for a lay audience, those more familiar with the educational and linguistic theories it introduces may wish to skim over some sections, but will no doubt find something of interest in the later chapters. Novices looking for further guidance are also well served by the suggestions for further reading at the end of the chapter.
—Geolinguistics
Language Minority Students in American Schools is a comprehensive, balanced, and timely view of language education in the United States that is appropriately contextualized in the often heated social, cultural, and political climate of U.S. classrooms
--Juliet E. Hart, TESOL Quarterly
Given its clear and informative discourse as well as its breadth and scope, this book should definitely be included on any ESL students essential reading list.
--Fiona Cromarty-Lawtie, TESL-EJ (December 2005)
...I thoroughly enjoyed this book and gained a great deal from Adamsons insights, explanations, and well-crafted arguments. This book will be an excellent core or supplemental textbook for TESL foundation and methods courses for both ESL specialist and content-area teachers. It is also a book I hope school administrators and policy makers will read as this information can help inform better policies and more effective programs for language minority students in American schools.
--Wayne E. Wright, Language Policy (2006)
This innovative introductory text provides trainee ESL teachers and teachers of other disciplines with a highly readable and topical introduction to the major issues in language minority student education.
--Louisa Willoughby, The LINGUIST LIST (9/16/05)
Intended for pre-service ESL and mainstream teachers who will work with culturally and linguistically diverse learns… book provides readers with an informed survey of second language acquisition theory wrapped in an engaging narrative chronicling the authors experiences working with diverse learning in multilingual settings in the U.S. and abroad.... fills a gap in the professional literature by offering a user-friendly introduction to second language theory without compromising scholarly rigor.
--Adrian J. Wurr, The Reading Matrix (April 2007)
This book is a considerable contribution to the field of the education of language minority students in the United States.
--Na Liu, Language and Education (2008)
Indisputably, the textbook is recommendable for all educators because it is informative and formative in matters of the education of ELLs. –Robert L. Torres, Studies in Second Language Acquisition (2007), 29: 503-504
Product Description
This book addresses questions of language education in the United States, focusing on how to teach the 3.5 million students in American public schools who do not speak English as a native language. These students are at the center of a national debate about the right relationship among ESL, bilingual, and mainstream classes. Bilingual education has been banned by constitutional amendment in California and Arizona, and similar amendments are being considered in other states. Language Minority Students in American Schools: An Education in English places this debate and related issues of teaching standard English to speakers of nonstandard dialects, such as black English, within the larger context of language acquisition theory and current methods of language teaching.
Adamson draws from the large body of sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic, and educational research, and on his own experience as an English teacher in the U.S. and overseas, to shed light on some of these controversies and on the cognitive, cultural, public policy, and practical issues involved in educating English language learners. Presenting all sides of the issues fairly, he offers a strong endorsement for bilingual and bidialectical education based on programs designed and administered according to the principles discussed in the book and supported by language acquisition theory and classroom research.
A strength of the book is the inclusion of original research conducted in a middle school enrolling a majority of Latino students. This research contributes to the field of language education by providing a detailed description of how English language learners study content subjects. Examples from the study are used to illustrate a discussion of Vygotskian learning principles and the relationship between the students' home and school cultures.
Language Minority Students in American Schools: An Education in English is intended for students who are preparing to become teachers of English as a second language, and for teachers of other subjects who work with English language learners.

Review of Research and Practice
作者：Virginia Gonzalez, Josefina Villamil Tinajero, National Association for Bilingual Education (U.S.). Conference
The National Association of Bilingual Education (NABE) published electronic issues of Volumes 1 and 2 of the NABE Journal of Research and Practice to offer archival records of 2002 and 2003 NABE conferences presentations. Beginning with Volume 3, the title of the publication is changed to NABE Review of Research and Practice and is published by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc. for NABE.
NABE Review of Research and Practice, Volume 3 fulfills the following goals:
*to establish an annual archival record of cutting-edge NABE conference presentations that generate new knowledge and advance the field of bilingual education research;
*to mentor junior scholars within the academic setting by providing an outlet for developing a publication record with the assistance of established scholars, and by publishing guidelines for developing high-quality dissertation research proposals and completed studies, and for university-based efforts to mentor doctoral students in bilingual education;
*to offer, in the Research section, an outlet for theoretical and applied research studies that represent innovative conceptual and philosophical perspectives, and that also implement innovative methodologies for solving theoretical and applied problems in bilingual education;
*to provide, in the Applied Education/Action Research section, an outlet for case studies, position papers, and action research that comes from practitioners in the field of bilingual education who are implementing research methodologies in their own classrooms or school districts (e.g., teacher-based research, evaluation studies conducted in the implementation of bilingual education federal and state grants); and
*to present, in the Position Papers and Reflections section, reflections of experiences of bilingual researchers, practitioners, and public school and higher education students that give insightful self-accounts of the experiences of ethnic minority students, scholars, and educators that allow readers to learn from them as role models and advocates.

Prologue In 1974 I joined the Biology faculty of Kean College of New Jersey. As a a new faculty member in an academic environment unlike any I had previously experienced, my real education began. I do not remember when I began to notice the increasing number of limited English proficient (LEP) students enrolling at Kean. The next year the number dropped to ten, then to four, and then to one—me.

The World in a Classroom Demographic changes in the last few decades have had important implications for all aspects of life in many countries. 'The Global Village', 'the interdependence of nations' and 'the world in a city' are all expressions which have achieved the status of cliche in recent years. How have the education systems of the countries of settlement responded to the challenge of meeting the needs of diverse populations? Canada is a country in which there are two 'charter peoples'—the English and the French—and attempts to safeguard the distinctiveness of the minority Francophone community have given rise to tensions which have remained unresolved for over 200 years. limited for Black workers.

Product Description
The use of corpora in translation studies, both as a tool for translators and as a way of analyzing the process of translation, is growing. This book provides a much-needed assessment of the contribution the use of corpora can make to the field.
The book begins by tracing the development of corpus-based methods within translation studies, examining the initial questions and reactions prompted by its establishment, the methodological issues that arose, and the studies that were carried out. Part 1 defines the types of corpora used for translation research, discusses their design and application, and presents tools for extracting data. Part 2 considers the use of corpora by translators, and how corpora can be used to research the translation process.
Featuring research questions, case studies, discussion points, methodological issues, and research potential and limitations, the book provides a practical guide to using corpora in translation studies and closes with an overview of the resources available to researchers, including a full bibliography with useful web-links.
Written by Maeve Olohan, a leading name in the field, and offering a comprehensive account of the use of corpora by today's translators and researchers, Introducing Corpora in Translation Studies is the definitive guide to a fast-developing area of study.
