Language in the Schools: Integrating Linguistic Knowledge Into K-12 Teaching

Editat de Kristin Denham, Anne Lobeck
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 iul 2005
Language in the Schools: Integrating Linguistic Knowledge Into K-12 Teaching addresses two important questions:
*What aspects of linguistic knowledge are most useful for teachers to know?
*What kinds of activities and projects are most effective in introducing those aspects of linguistic knowledge to K-12 students?

The volume focuses on how basic linguistic knowledge can inform teachers' approaches to language issues in the multicultural, linguistically diverse classroom. The text also includes examples of practical applications of language awareness to pedagogy, assessment, and curriculum construction, which support the current goals of language arts, bilingual, and ESL education.

Language in the Schools: Integrating Linguistic Knowledge Into K-12 Teaching contributes to the resources on linguistics and education by taking prospective teachers beyond basic linguistics to ways in which linguistics can productively inform their teaching and raise their students' awareness of language. It is intended as a text for students in teacher education programs who have a basic knowledge of linguistics.

Recenzii

"This volume would make an excellent choice for a school-wide study group for professional development of teachers, especially for an elementary school that has a diversity of languages spoken within the community. Editors Denham and Lobeck and their colleagues have built an excellent argument for increasing the linguistic knowledge of teachers. As American classrooms continue to expand in diversity, these tools will become vital to the language of learning."—PsycCRITIQUES
"...a great deal of valuable information to encourage teachers to think in more global terms about language and language use. The focus on diversity of the student population and diversity of language is clear and needed."—Nancy L. Hadaway, University of Texas at Arlington
"The representative topics they explore are both stimulating and relevant to educators in today's teaching environments, and the suggested activities are, for the most part, realistic and exciting for teachers. Language in the Schools is successful in helping teachers see how to investigate and celebrate language(s) in their classrooms--whether they teach social studies, geometry, life science, or English. The book is a valuable contribution toward increasing awareness of language's role in classroom learning."--TESL-EJ, March 2007, Volume 10, Number 4
