Recenzii

This thorough and passionate book offers a critical analysis of Proposition 203, Arizona's law seeking to eliminate bilingual education, and documents the grave impact it has had. Policymakers and voters as well as anyone concerned about the education of bilingual students should be required to read this book to understand the negative effects of restrictive language policies, and specifically the mandatory "Structured English Immersion" model now being widely implemented. This book is a call to action for the promotion of expansive language education policies, which build on the home languages of all students.Kate Menken, Queens College & Graduate Center, City University of New York, USAEvidence of the harmful effects of Arizona's instructional policy for English learners has mounted. This one volume, edited by Arias and Faltis, two of the nation's leading experts in the field, provides solid evidence carefully linked to theory, and compelling arguments for why the policy is blatantly discriminatory. It also provides important guidance for policymakers and the courts as they evaluate the legal basis for Arizona's misbegotten language instructional policy. Read it and be empowered to act!Patricia Gandara In this timely and illuminating volume edited by Beatriz Arias and Christian Faltis, the authors concisely deconstruct the folk theory that English is, by its very existence, the sole language of instruction. The brilliance of this edited volume Implementing Educational Language Policy in Arizona, lies in the authors' rigorous deconstruction of unproven methods to teach linguistic minority students solely in English even when they are not yet proficient in the language thereby depriving them of their linguistic and cultural dignity and the opportunity to become literate in their own language. Using various data sources from empirical research in second language acquisition to historical analyses of the pervasive mis-education of Latino(a) students, the authors authoritatively provide a censorship portrayal of Arizona - a state that not only banned instruction in languages other than English, but is, increasingly, becoming ever more totalitarian in its censorship in public schools of books such as Paulo Freire's world-renowned classic, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, among other authors who advocate education for liberation. Implementing Educational Language Policy in Arizona goes beyond detailing the crisis of education in Arizona. It powerfully and painfully lays bare Arizona's current shameful crisis of democracy.Lilia Bartolome, University of Massachusetts, USA
