The Bilingual Edge: Why, When, and How to Teach Your Child a Second Language (Paperback)
by Kendall King (Author), Alison Mackey (Author)

Editorial Reviews
Product Description

It's no secret that parents want their children to have the lifelong cultural and intellectual advantages that come from being bilingual. Parents spend millions of dollars every year on classes, computer programs, and toys, all of which promise to help children learn a second language. But many of their best efforts (and investments) end in disappointment.

In The Bilingual Edge, professors and parents King and Mackey wade through the hype and provide clear insights into what actually works. No matter what your language background is—whether you never passed Spanish in high school or you speak Mandarin fluently—King and Mackey will help you:


select the language that will give your child the most benefits


find materials and programs that will assist your child in achieving fluency


identify and use your family's unique traits to maximize learning

Fancy private schools and expensive materials aren't needed. Instead, The Bilingual Edge translates the latest research into interactive strategies and quick tips that even the busiest parents can use.



About the Author

Kendall King, Ph.D., and Alison Mackey, Ph.D. are linguistics professors at Georgetown University. Between them, they have written nearly a hundred research articles and books on bilingualism and language teaching methods. Also, they are both parents, teaching their children more than one language.

Handbook of Undergraduate Second Language Education (Paperback)
by Judith W. Rosenthal (Editor)

Editorial Reviews
Review

The essays provide a good overview of second language learning in the US and present examples of what more can be done, or is currently being done, in other countries....Recommended for academic libraries supporting graduate programs in teaching English as a second language or foreign language education.
—CHOICE

The book has two important messages. First, despite positive developments in recent years, foreign language learning is not a high priority among American college students yet. Rosenthals book seeks ways to change this....Second, all language educators need to try to break down existing boundaries between academic disciplines that have a shared common ground but are considered to be independent fields, such as second language acquisition, bilingualism, ESL, and foreign language learning. This volume makes a serious attempt in this direction.
—American Journal of Psychology

One of the books most valuable features is the number and range of case studies. Each one provides just enough information so that the reader can get a clear picture of the context without being drowned in details.
—SSLA

Sets the stage for a conversation that is long overdue....The case studies show that, in fact, dual language instruction at the university level is a well-kept secret, not simply a hope or a fiction....The models presented might inspire conversation and action at my own university.
—Judith Lessow-Hurley
San Jos‚ State University

Given the continuing growth in non-native speaking populations, this comprehensive examination of bilingualism is timely and relevant....An excellent comprehensive resource for language educators and college and university administrators.
—Loretta Kasper
Kingsborough Community College, City University of New York

Presents some very unique and under-publicized programs. This book could make an important impact on how languages are taught and maintained in post-secondary schools....and influence significantly how languages are viewed in the academy in the next millennium.
—Kay M. Losey
State University of New York at Stony Brook



Product Description
This volume offers the most comprehensive, up-to-date description of the wide array of second language programs currently available to undergraduate students in the United States and abroad. It brings together, for the first time, detailed descriptions of programs in foreign language, English as a second language (ESL), dual language (bilingual), American Sign Language, Native American, and heritage languages. Addressing both theory and practice, the volume presents the historical development, current practices, and future directions of each type of program, along with detailed case studies. For second language teachers, academic administrators, and teacher educators, this Handbook provides information that will be useful in making instructional and programmatic planning decisions.

Between Worlds: Interpreters, Guides, and Survivors (Kindle Edition)
by Frances E. Karttunen (Author)

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Linguist Karttunen examines the lives of 16 interpreters throughout history who played key roles in bridging their cultures to explorers, missionaries and conquerors.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Library Journal
Karttunen (anthropology, Univ. of Texas Linguistics Research Ctr.) describes the lives of 16 men and women who acted as guides and interpreters for explorers, missionaries, and anthropologists. Included are Dona Marina, who interpreted for Cortes; Sacajawea, who traveled with Lewis and Clark; and Charles Eastman, who was a Sioux physician at Wounded Knee. Karttunen provides succinct biographies of the selected individuals and a final chapter of her own analysis. Her primary focus is exploring how each interpreter lived on the margins of two societies. She is particularly sensitive to gender and ethnic issues but does not address the linguistics of the work that these interpreters did. Recommended as a useful addition to history and diversity collections but not for linguistics collections.

The Highly Selective Dictionary For The Extraordinarily Literate (Hardcover)
by Eugene H. Ehrlich (Author)

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
In The Highly Selective Dictionary for the Extraordinarily Literate, Eugene Ehrlich pulls no punches about his intent. This book and its companion, The Highly Selective Thesaurus for the Extraordinarily Literate, are prescriptive rather than descriptive, dedicated to recording language as it should be rather than how it often is. In the preface, Ehrlich announces that he means his book to be an "antidote" to the "effects wrought by the forces of linguistic darkness"--meaning, of course, all lexicographers more permissive than he is. That said, Ehrlich's conservative approach handily disposes of many thorny usage problems. The entry for "effectual," for example, distinguishes between "effective" and "effectual" in a concise and utterly persuasive way: "...a law that is effective--operative, in effect--becomes effectual--answers its purpose--only when the law is enforced."
This is not your ordinary dictionary; Ehrlich thinks that defining everyday words with commonly accepted meanings is a massive waste of time. Instead, he concentrates on unusual words or those that present interesting problems. The result is a fascinating dictionary that can be read cover to cover, like a book; do so and your vocabulary may never be the same again.

Product Description
Between TV talk shows, radio call-in programs, email and the Internet, spontaneous-talk media has skyrocketed in the '90s. People are interacting more frequently and more fervently than ever before, turning the English language into an indecipherable mess. Now, this unique and concise compendium presents the most confused and misused words in the language today -- words misused by careless speakers and writers everywhere.It defines, discerns and distinguishes the finer points of sense and meaning. Was it fortuitous or only fortunate? Are you trying to remember, or more fully recollect? Is he uninterested or disinterested? Is it healthful or healthy, regretful or regrettable, notorious or infamous? The answers to these and many more fascinating etymological questions can be found within the pages of this invaluable (or is it valuable?) reference.

A History of Roget's Thesaurus: Origins, Development, and Design (Paperback)
by Werner Hullen (Author)

Editorial Reviews
Review
a book packed with new and fascinating information and analyses. Jane Roberts, International Journal of Lexicography

Product Description
Roget's Thesaurus was first published in 1852 and has come to be one of the most famous and widely-used reference works in the world. This is the first account of its genesis. Werner Hullen contends that synonymy (words with similar meanings) is a feature of language without which we could not communicate. He describes the development in the theory and practice of synonymy from Plato to the seventeenth century, when the first English synonym dictionaries began to appear. Roget's Thesaurus, the first synonym dictionary arranged in topical order, represents an enormously significant peak in this development. This book exposes the conceptual framework behind the Thesaurus and shows how it can be interpreted as a predecessor of linguistic semantics.

The Cambridge Thesaurus of American English (Hardcover)
by William D. Lutz (Author)
Key Phrases: exact synonyms, Don Juan, Benedict Arnold

Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This concise and convenient thesaurus, edited by Lutz ( Double-Speak , HarperCollins, 1989), follows the trend of most modern thesauruses by employing an alphabetical arrangement in lieu of the traditional classified arrangement used in Roget's International Thesaurus (HarperCollins, 1992. 5th ed.). This new thesaurus is an original list with more than 200,000 synonyms and antonyms--exceeding the 100,000 words found in Webster's Collegiate Thesaurus (Merriam-Webster, 1988) and the 75,000 words found in Roget's II: The New Thesaurus (Houghton , 1988) . Yet it contains considerably fewer words than the 300,000 in Webster's New World Thesaurus (S. & S., 1985) and the 275,000 in Random House Thesaurus College Edition (Random, 1984). Cambridge is succinct, concentrating on idioms, verb phrases, and slang. Phrases are listed under the "main" word in the phrase. "lay it by ear," for example, is found under the noun ear instead of the verb play . Unlike The Oxford Thesaurus American Edition (Oxford Univ. Pr., 1992), which employs both an alphabetical arrangement and an index for cross references, Cambridge follows a strict alphabetical arrangement. Although scholars will probably prefer using Roget's International for its comprehensive coverage, Cam bridge is a welcome addition to the list of modern thesauruses. Highly recommended for users who need a concise work that provides quick and easy access.
- Lois Cherepon, St. John's Univ. Lib., New York
Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Booklist
The publicity material calls The Cambridge Thesaurus of American English "concise, easy-to-use, and presented in readable type." It is all of those things. Presented in dictionary format, it does not have an index as does The Oxford Thesaurus: American Edition [RBB D 1 92].
The Cambridge Thesaurus contains fewer words than Oxford (about 200,000 compared with 275,000) or Roget's International Thesaurus, fifth edition (325,000). In his introduction, editor Lutz explains that the synonyms "have been arranged to provide users with a broad selection of synonyms that adhere closely to the meaning of the entry word." Generally not more than 10 synonyms are provided for a word to "confine the entries to those synonyms that are appropriate and above all familiar and useful."

Idioms and verb phrases are included both as entries and as synonyms, with special emphasis on current usage. While the slang usage of chill does not have its own entry, it does appear as a synonym in the entry calm down. Where synonyms are slang, they identified as such. Informal and colloquial terms are not so labeled, which could be a problem in formal writing. The editor recommends checking a current dictionary when in doubt.

Entries are identified by part-of-speech abbreviation; words that can be more than one part of speech are listed separately. Arabic numerals separate synonym groups by meaning. A brief gloss in parentheses will identify the sense for each synonym group if it is not immediately clear. Some antonyms are given, to narrow the possible choices among synonyms and to help select the best synonym from among those given.

Lists of types of things--flowers, cheeses, dog breeds--are omitted. This also explains the absence of color terms, which are not easily interchangeable. Green as an adjective, however, does have synonyms that cover flourishing plants and immaturity.

This is a good, concise thesaurus for the general reader, a ready-reference or telephone-reference service point, or an office. Given the price, it might even be a good circulating thesaurus since it is much more legible than the paperbound ones most libraries use. A useful purchase.

The Highly Selective Thesaurus for the Extraordinarily Literate (Hardcover)
by Eugene H. Ehrlich (Author)

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
If you're serious about writing and speaking language that crackles with delightful and obscure words, then you must have this book. As indicated by the title, it is a selective thesaurus containing 50,000 words and phrases, focusing on the more arcane or colorful choices. The main weakness is lack of cross-referencing, but it is nonetheless a superlative supplement to standard thesauri or synonym dictionaries.

From Library Journal
Ehrlich, coeditor of the Oxford American Dictionary, here indulges his obvious love of uncommon words with a short list of terms paired with an idiosyncratic selection of synonyms. Containing fewer than 8000 entries and illustrated with amusing line drawings, it is a fun book to browse. A majority of the entries give only a single synonym, which could be found in a standard paperback thesaurus. While it is intriguing to scan the bizarre and unfamiliar synonyms chosen, the size and selectivity of this work limit its usefulness. Browsers and word collectors will have fun with this little book, but writers and speakers searching for the right word will be better served by a more comprehensive and less quirky thesaurus.

American Conversations Puerto Ricans, White Ethnics, and Multicultural Education

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Using lively dialogue and memorable anecdotes in school and community settings, Ellen Bigler...convincingly describes the tensions that result when a group of people is excluded from the conversation. It asks readers--educators and citizens of all backgrounds--to consider what it means to be an American as we begin the twenty-first century." --Sonia Nieto, University of Massachusetts, Amherst "American Conversations is an analysis of conflicts over multicultural education in a small upstate New York city and the potential of critical pedagogy to make these battles unnecessary in the future." --Inequalities "American Conversations is based in the upstate New York city of Arnhem, and explores the various perceptions of multicultural education held by different actorsin the city's education system. The city is into its third decade of economic decline with an aging Euro-American population determined to prevent increases in property taxes and viewing spending initiatives as the granting of special favors to the undeserving. The growing Puerto Rican population in the city's schools were caught in this restrictive and hostile environment and education became the public site of contentious discourse about what characterizes American identity. Anthropologist Ellen Bigler examines the conflict through conversations with students, teachers, parents, and community leaders, particularly describing the feelings of alienation among many in Arnhem's Puerto Rican community and the failure of educators to appreciate this problem." --SAGE Race Relations Abastracts

Product Description
Growing numbers of working-class Puerto Ricans are migrating from larger mainland metropolitan areas into smaller, "safer" communities in search of a better quality of life for themselves and their families. What they may also encounter in moving to such communities is a discourse of exclusion that associates their differences and their lower socioeconomic class with a lack of effort and an unwillingness to assimilate into mainstream culture. In this ethnographic study of a community in conflict, educator and anthropologist Ellen Bigler examines such discourses as she explores one city's heated dispute that arose over bringing multiculturalism and bilingual education into their lives and their schools' curricula.The impassioned debate that erupted between long-time white ethnic residents and more recently arrived Puerto Rican citizens in the de-industrialized city the author calls "Arnhem" was initially sparked by one school board member's disparaging comments about Latinos. The conflict led to an investigation by the New York State Education Department and to attempts to implement multicultural reforms in the city's schools. "American Conversations" follows the ensuing conflict, looks at the history of racial formation in the United States, and considers the specific economic and labor histories of the groups comprising the community in opposition.Including interviews with students, teachers, parents, and community leaders, as well as her own observations of exchanges among them inside and outside the classroom, Bigler's book explores the social positions, diverging constructions of history, and polarized understandings of contemporary racial/ethnic dynamics in Arnhem. Through her retelling of one community's crisis, Bigler illuminates the nature of racial politics in the United States and how both sides in the debate over multicultural education struggle to find a common language. "American Conversations" will appeal to anyone invested in education and multiculturalism in the United States as well as those interested in anthropology, sociology, racial and ethnic studies, educational institutions, migration and settlement, the effects of industrial restructuring, and broad issues of community formation and conflict.Author note: Ellen Bigler is an Assistant Professor at Rhode Island College where she holds a joint appointment in Educational Studies and Anthropology. An educator in New York State schools for fourteen years, she also served as a consultant to the New York State Department of Education on its K-12 Latino curriculum project, "Latinos in the Making of the USA: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow".

Key Phrases: bicultural project, separate linguistic elements, bicultural programme, Multilingual Matters, The Silmarillion, Academic Press (more...)


Editorial Reviews
Product Description
This is a collection of articles which describe and assess the Foyer Model, a project for schooling minority children in Brussels, which aims for bicultural and trilingual education. It demonstrates the need for an appropriate education model in a culturally and linguistically complex society. The Foyer Model was created to help Spanish, Moroccan, Italian and Turkish children in Brussels. It recognizes the need for proficiency in their home language and also in the two languages of Brussels - French and Dutch. It also aims to ease any conflicts between their culture of origin and their host culture. This book originated in evaluations conducted as the first pupils ended their primary school careers. It assesses the model's success so far and reports on those who work with it every day. This is not an exhaustive account, but rather an introduction to the programme's main characteristics and its importance to Europe as a whole.
