Bilingual Bicultural Deaf Resources

The Bilingual-Bicultural Deaf Education philosophy is a popular movement in the field. Since this is a relatively new movement, much research needs to be done to determine the most effective way to develop bi-bi programs for deaf students. There are also different interpretations of bilingual-bicultural deaf education, but the most common interpretation is the development of ASL as the primary language and English as a second language, particularly the reading-writing components. Both ASL and English are considered equal languages of importance. Therefore, there are ASL specialists who provide ASL therapy services much like speech therapists provide speech therapy services.

Note that Sweden offers strong family support services to parents by offering them free sign language classes and time off from work with pay to take these classes. If parents do not learn sign language or use it with their deaf children, the children may be taken away from the parents and be put up for adoption.Sweden also has an innovative bilingual bicultural text and video set called Adam's Bok which they use in the elementary grades. The text shows a deaf boy with hearing parents, deaf grandparents and a hearing sister. It also shows his home environment with captioned tv, ttys, flashing lights and family members signing.

Several reasons why the field is exploring this model are: 1) there is evidence that deaf children of deaf parents have higher achievement levels in English as compared to deaf children of hearing parents which is due to the fact that deaf children of deaf parents have an accessible visual language and can easily communicate within the family; 2) there is evidence that deaf students have not progressed with the simultaneous communication method (sign supported speech) and 3) we are moving away from the medical disability view to a (multi)cultural view of deaf education.

There are many variables that affect language learning outcomes such as the family's socio-economic status, onset and degree of hearing loss, use of residual hearing, and learning differences. This model emphasizes deaf students' strengths, abilities, identity and pride. The concept behind this movement is to recognize that students are at different developmental levels in both languages, to aim for strong skills in both languages thereby giving students more choices as to the society (societies) they wish to join, and to foster respect for diversity within the deaf community. There are several different linguistic groups we need to consider within the deaf community: ASL fluent-English challenged; English fluent-ASL challenged; ASL & English fluent users; and ASL & English challenged (low verbal). Stephen Nover at the New Mexico School for the Deaf has been doing cutting-edge research on bilingual-bicultural programming for deaf students.He also provides staff training to several deaf schools in the nation.

The 43 million people with disabilities form this country's largest minority group, yet they are markedly under-employed as educators. This text paves the way for correcting this costly omission. Editors Anderson, Karp, and Keller have called upon the knowledge of 19 other renowned contributors to address the important issues raised in Enhancing Diversity, including the place of disability in discussions of diversity in education, research on educators with disabilities that validates their capabilities, and information on the qualifications desired in and the demands made of education professionals. Legal precedents are cited and xplained, and examples of efforts to place disabled educators are presented, along with recommendations on how disabled individuals and school administrators can work toward increased opportunities. Interviews with 25 disabled educators discussing how they satisfactorily fulfill their professional requirements completes this thoughtful-provoking book.

A dozen studies consider the acquisition of signed language by young children, based on the proposition that theories of language acquisition and reading development must account for signed languages in order to understand the universal, modality- specific, and language-specific characteristics of language acquisition and the learning mechanisms that account for reading. They show that early exposure to signed languages results in a very different developmental outcome than exposure beyond early childhood.

This text looks at the acquisition of language by children with hearing losses and proposes multiple pathways by which students can acquire a practical system of communication. Recent advances in the education of students who are deaf and hard of hearing have brought new insights into imparting the ability to communicate to this population.The work addresses the language development process from multiple perspectives, drawing on the latest research in bilingual-biculturalism, cochlear implant technology and neuroscience. It presents a unique view of language development, proposing that there are multiple pathways to the acquisition of a system of communication and providing a departure from traditional proprietary perspectives. The book begins with a historical overview of language development in students who are deaf and hard of hearing and follows with a review of current literature on the subject. The multiple pathways perspective is described, introducing real students with hearing losses as points of departure for application. These same students provide examples for the chapters on assessment and instruction. The book ends with an in-depth meta-linguistic overview of the two languages which teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing must master: English and American Sign Language.

A review of literature focuses on the literacy acquisition process of deaf children who acquire American Sign Language (ASL) as a first language and written English as a second language. Literacy in this context is defined broadly to include the context and culture in which reading and writing occur, referring to the strong connection between language learning, the individual, and the community and emphasizing the importance of literacy acquisition and problems that can occur when literacy in this broad sense is impaired. Topics addressed in the review include: the nature of bilingualism; bilingual deaf education (BDE), or the teaching of English to deaf children as a second language (including the differences in the natures of ASL and English and differences between BDE and other forms of bilingual education); and the need for special strategies for literacy instruction for deaf children (motivation and self-concept development, teacher understanding of the principles of language development, the role of basic knowledge of the first language (ASL) in developing literacy, the speak-then-read approach, allowing student use of translation, emphasis on comprehension, incorporation of culture into instruction, use of cultural role models).

This book asserts that Deaf students learn mostly like hearing students, going against the "disability" and "remedial" stamps of nearly all teacher preparation programs in Deaf Education. And unlike most books on teaching Deaf students, Rethinking... actually gives specific, real examples of how to put theory into practice. One of the most useful aspects of this book is Livingston's detailed explanation of how to read to Deaf students of all ages in a meaningful and accessible way. She asserts that the main focus of all language activities in the classroom must be meaning-based, with the logistics of language following. Every teacher and parent of the Deaf, despite educational or communication philosophy, needs to read this book. It offers an eclectic, well-tested, tried and true approach to increasing the literacy skills of Deaf students. (From Amazon web site).

Is perception reality? Editor Melanie Metzger investigates the cultural perceptions by and of deaf people around the world in volume six of the Sociolinguistics series Bilingualism and Identity in Deaf Communities. "All sociocultural groups offer possible solutions to the dilemma that a deaf child presents to the larger group," write Claire Ramsey and Jose Antonio Noriega in their essay, "Ninos Milagrizados: Language Attitudes, Deaf Education, and Miracle Cures in Mexico." In this case, Ramsey and Noriega analyze cultural attempts to "unify" deaf children with the rest of the community.Other contributors report similar phenomena in deaf communities in New Zealand, Nicaragua, and Spain, paying particular attention to how society's view of deaf people affects how deaf people view themselves. A second theme pervasive in this collection, akin to the questions of perception and identity, is the impact of bilingualism in deaf communities. Peter C. Hauser offers a study of an American child proficient in both ASL and Cued English while Annica Detthow analyzes "transliteration" between Spoken Swedish and Swedish Sign Language. Like its predecessors, this sixth volume of the Sociolinguistics series distinguishes itself by the depth and diversity of its research, making it a welcome addition to any scholar's library.

Lyn Robertson, Ph. D., with an introduction by Carol Flexer, Ph. D. Flexer's introduction provides evidence that "hearing" is the most effective modality for the teaching of spoken language (speech), reading, and cognitive skills. She notes that with today's amplification technologies, cochlear implants and early identification and intervention, auditory brain access and development are available to babies with even the most profound deafness. In-depth suggested readings are provided at the end of the introduction. Robertson uses herpersonal experience as the mother of a daughter with hearing loss to underscore that being deaf or hard of hearing does not mean children should not be able to read or write properly. Robertson has a strong background in reading and language with an emphasis on cognition. Professionals and parents will find this book filled with solid research and ways to assure that children with a hearing loss have access to good spoken and written language, the cornerstones of literacy.(From AG Bell web site).

*Root, J. (1999). The politics of visual language. Ottawa : Carleton University Press. (4th floor HV2395 .R66 1999).
This book is a ground-breaking study of the political socialization of children who are deaf. Debate has raged for years over how to educate the prelingually deaf - those children who cannot acquire language "normally" (that is, orally and aurally). While the battlelines have been drawn by the proponents of oralism versus manualism and their hearing supporters, two linguistic dilemmas facing D/deaf people remain constant: a conscious choice is always made for them as to the way they will be taught, and either method of language acquisition results in a form of marginalization. This work is a fascinating and unique perspective on the whole process of political socialization; unique because previous studies in this field have assumed that all participants in the process can hear. This work studies those who cannot hear and, while it attempts an impartial assessment of all educational methodologies, will undoubtedly raise new questions within the Deaf community and beyond. Sociologists, educators, medical professionals, linguists, psychologists and political scientists will have to reconsider the emotional and political effects of current assumptions about the socialization process.

As more and more secondary schools and colleges accept American Sign Language (ASL) as a legitimate choice for second language study, Learning To See has become even more vital in guiding instructors on the best ways to teach ASL as a second language. And now this groundbreaking book has been updated and revised to reflect the significant gains in recognition that Deaf people and their native language, ASL, have achieved in recent years. Learning To See lays solid groundwork for teaching and studying ASL by outlining the structure of this unique visual language. Myths and misconceptions about ASL are laid to rest at the same time that fascinating, multifaceted elements of Deaf culture are described. Students will be able to study ASL and gain a thorough understanding of the culture it represents, which will help them to grasp the language more easily. An explanation of the linguistic basis of ASL follows, leading into the specific, and above all, practical information on teaching techniques. This practical manual systematically presents the steps necessary to design a curriculum for teaching ASL, including the special features necessary for training interpreters. The new Learning To See again takes its place at the forefront of texts on teaching ASL as a second language, and it will prove to be indispensable to educators and administrators in this special discipline.

NTID Professors or Rochesterians Karen Christie, Dorothy Wilkins and Betsy McDonald wrote "GET-TO-THE-POINT: Academic Bilingualism and Discourse in American Sign Language and Written English" p. 162.
In this intriguing book, renowned sociolinguistics experts explore the importance of discourse analysis, a process that examines patterns of language to understand how users build cooperative understanding in dialogues. It presents discourse analyses of sign languages native to Bali, Italy, England, and the United States. Studies of internal context review the use of space in ASL to discuss space, how space in BSL is used to "package" complex narrative tasks, how signers choose linguistic tools to structure storytelling, and how affect, emphasis, and comment are added in text telephone conversations. Inquiries into external contexts observe the integration of deaf people and sign language into language communities in Bali, and the language mixing that occurs between deaf parents and their hearing children. Both external and internal contexts are viewed together, first in an examination of applying internal ASL text styles to teaching written English to Deaf students and then in a consideration of the language choices of interpreters who must shift footing to manage the "interpreter's paradox."This text casts new light on discourse analysis, which will make it a welcome addition to the sociolinguistics canon.(from Gallaudet University Press website).

The second edition of this book provides an introduction of practical value to questions of bilingualism for parents and teachers. The style of the book is to pose questions that people most often ask about raising bilingual children. Straightforward answers follow, written in direct, plain English. Ideas and perceptions have been extended and enriched in this edition, and there has been elaboration and refinement in particular answers such as: the advantages of bilingualism; language mixing; trilingualism; and identity problems. Also a variety of new material has been included; for examples: influence of the World Wide Web and the Internet on bilingualism; the benefits for children who have a less developed second language; employment and bilingualism/multilingualism; mixed language marriages; and language strategies with an adopted child. (from Multilingual Matters web site).

Baker, C. (2000). The care and education of young bilinguals: An introduction for professionals [electronic resource] . Buffalo, NY: Multilingual Matters.
This book aims to provide a first but comprehensive introduction for busy professionals working with bilingual children. It assumes no previous training in this area but aims to provide the kind of information needed by those who deal with bilingual children. For speech therapists, doctors, psychologists, counselors, teachers, special needs personnel and many other professionals, the contents will sensitize and inform on the following: the nature of the bilingual child; bilingual children in families, bilingual children and their communities, the psychology of bilingual children, home—school relationships, bilingual schooling, bilingual children with special needs, racism and bilinguals, and the future for bilingual children. Bilinguals can only be understood through a cross-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary perspective. Hence, this book contains psychological, sociolinguistic, educational, linguistic and cultural aspects.Bilingualism has become an important topic. It reflects a surge of interest in bilinguals as people with different characteristics from monolinguals. It also reflects the increased interest in minority languages and cultures. The last decades of the twentieth century have brought swift changes in international travel, international communications, the global economy, ease of travel between countries, greater internationalism and the need for ethnic harmony. This has led to debates about the place of the languages of the world, including the need to preserve linguistic and cultural diversity. There are many indigenous and immigrant languages that are endangered. Just as there have been movements to save endangered species of animals and plants, so endangered languages need protection. The colorful diversity of human existence as expressed in its many languages and cultures is threatened, and therefore bilingualism becomes a central issue. Bilingual children are at the heart of this. In the last decade, the advantages of bilingualism and multilingualism have become clearer. The cultural, communication, cognitive and curriculum advantages of being a bilingual are increasingly agreed. Yet bilinguals often live in circumstances where there is relatively little power, little political influence, sometimes being marginalized and the targets of racial or ethnic attack. Therefore, this book aims to help reduce the prejudice and stereotyping that surrounds bilingual children and to inform about the beauty of bilingualism.

With the development of international business and an increase in immigration, this culture can no longer afford the presumption of monolingualism. The theme of this book is that we are all capable of learning new languages and that doing so develops awareness of one's own intellectual and emotional dimensions. It presents recent research into second language acquisition, addresses broader sociological issues of cultural diversity and multilingualism, and calls for coherent policy on these issues so that our society might thereby become stronger economically, politically and culturally.

Brisk, M. (2000). Literacy and bilingualism: A handbook for all teachers [electronic resource] . Mahwah, N.J. : L. Erlbaum Associates.
This handbook applies proven techniques, derived from bilingual/bicultural classrooms, to teaching literacy in the 21st century. Its goal is to help teachers increase their understanding of bilingual learners in order to maximize instruction. Teachers can use this handbook to: * Expand their understanding of literacy and bilingualism * Implement literacy approaches and assess students' development * Learn through reflection Features: Practical, flexible format and content. Complete and straightforward instructions, illustrated by case studies, allow teachers to use the strategies in this handbook on their own or in teacher-led study groups. They can select from the variety of approaches the ones which best match their students' needs and their own teaching style. Student-centered focus. All of the approaches share characteristics that help motivate students of varying language abilities to develop literacy. They: * Encourage students' creativity * Tap on students' knowledge as the basis for learning * Allow for students to regulate the degree of difficulty * Support functional uses of language * Reinforce all language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and their integration in teaching literacy * Include engaging activities * Invite student interaction and active participation * Practice skills in meaningful contexts Field-tested approaches. The approaches have beenmodified and tested with bilingual students of different ages and language backgrounds in bilingual, ESL, mainstream,special education, and deaf education classes ranging from preschool through high school. What has been learned about how to motivate students to acquire literacy in either their native or second languages is described.

Corson, D. (2000). Language diversity and education [electronic resource]. . Mahwah, N.J.: L. Erlbaum Associates.
The first, second, and last chapters give much of the background that beginning researchers need for studying language diversity and education. These chapters offer an update on the philosophy of social research. In doing so, they reveal how important language is for all the processes of learning that humans engage in, whether it is learning about the world through education, or learning about the nature of social life through research in the human sciences. The same chapters review the links between language, power, and social justice. And they look at dynamic changes occurring in 'language diversity and education' research. The book's four central chapters attempt a comprehensive and state-of-the-art coverage of the chief areas of language diversity that affect the practice of education: • standard and non-standard varieties; *different cultural discourse norms; • bilingual and English as a Second Language (ESL) education and • gendered discourse norms. Chapter 1 looks at language in social life, especially its central role in discovering and explaining a diverse social world. The chapter follows the interpretative, discursive turn that now offers a way of understanding language diversity and education that is critically real yet thoroughly postmodern.Chapter 2 reviews the links between discourse, power, and social justice. It looks at 'language and power' and at 'language and social justice'. Then it brings these two discussions together to suggest how the imbalances in power that language diversity creates, can be reduced in the interests of social justice. Chapter 3 addresses the many students who bring different cultural discourse norms into schools. It discusses cultural identity; mismatches in discourse; different cultural values; the effects of dominant discourse norms; the power of classroom contexts and teacher practices; and ways of changing these contexts and practices. Chapter 4 discusses the fair treatment of standard and non-standard varieties in education. Its topics include non-standard varieties and educational policy; recent research on non-standard varieties; and the practical issues of critical language awareness and critical literacy. Chapter 5 reviews bilingual and ESL education. It deals with the advantages of bilingualism and of bilingual education itself; the education of immigrant children up to middle childhood; established linguistic minorities; the signing Deaf; the ESL education of older children; and valuing minority first languages in schools. Chapter 6 looks at gendered discourse norms. Its topics include female discourse norms and male power; cooperative and competitive practices among adults and children; gendered norms reinforced by schools; influences beyond the school; the norms of immigrant girls; and reducing gendered school discourses. Chapter 7 examines the changing role of the language disciplines in understanding the real world of human interaction. It points towards discourse studies that are broadly conceived, politically aware, and socially situated. Finally, it presents summaries of methods at work, each drawn from one of the four central chapters.(from preface of book).

An introduction to bilingual education for education majors interested in becoming bilingual teachers. Presents a set of principles that form the foundation of how children and adolescents acquire literacy, and illustrates what actually happens in certain bilingual classrooms and schools through detailed vignettes of social interaction involving students and teachers. Unlike most works on bilingual education, there is much material on secondary students and schools. A final chapter discusses caring for bilingual education within a framework of caring and compassion in general. (from Einstein Catalog).

Freeman, D.E.(2001). Between worlds : Access to second language acquisition. Portsmouth, NH : Heinemann.(3rd floor, P118.2 .F74 2001).
The first edition of Between Worlds provided such an excellent grounding in the theories and practices of second language acquisition that when it won MLA's Mildenberger Award it was cited for its treatment of the "issues that concern teachers of languages at all levels and in all contexts." Tens of thousands of educators discovered how to expand the learning potential of their students by considering how the world inside the school interacts with outside social contexts. Now, seven years later, the schooling of English language learners has become far more complex and political. So the Freemans have updated their classic text to address new trends and issues related to the teaching of multilingual students. The second edition features: clear, accessible review of second language acquisition theories and research in the fields of second language acquisition, bilingual education, and second language teaching methodology—now completely updated new insight into the social and cultural factors that affect second language acquisition and related current research and theory discussion of the role of grammar in second language acquisition the content teachers need for certification to teach second language learners—such as CLAD/BCLAD unparalleled practicality, with lots of new classroom examples, strategies, thematic units, student work, and language stories ideas for promoting cultural sensitivity logical organization that could easily serve as a basis for a course syllabus practical suggestions and useful resources for working with parents of language minority students.

Gonzalez, V. (1997). Assessment and instruction of culturally and linguistically diverse students with or at-risk of learning problems : From research to practice. Boston : Allyn & Bacon. (4th floor LC3731 .G67 1996).
This book is an essential tool for any educator working with culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students. It delivers applied recommendations from the research developed by scholars endorsing the importance of a constructivist and developmental perspective. Referred to as the “Ethnic Educator,” its approach emphasizes how educators must be responsive to the needs of CLD students and families. Appropriate for a wide range of professionals such as bilingual and special educators, education diagnosticians and psychologists, counselors, social workers, speech patholgists, and school administrators.

Ever since its publication in 1995, this book has offered a means for teachers to consider why some bilingual pupils in their classrooms are not making learning progress or are academically underachieving. This new second edition has been revised and updated in the light of the new government legislation and guidance, most significantly the revised Code of Practice for Special Educational Needs. It continues to look at ways of asking questions about the pupil, of collecting evidence of both learning and language development and of offering support within the classroom. It contains a model and photocopiable proformas for use within schools, which should help to establish clear systems of identification of those bilingual pupils who may have special learning needs and to distinguish these from the need for language support.

Kouritzin, S.G. (1999). Face[t]s of first language loss [electronic resource]. Mahwah, N.J.: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc.
This study expresses the desire to understand minority first language loss from a descriptive, narrative, retrospective, and personal point of view, a point of view heretofore overlooked in language loss research. The purpose is to understand the meaning of the experience from an insider perspective.This multiple life history case study accomplishes the following: 1. It describes, from an emic 1 perspective, the intersection between language, identity, culture, and marginalization in some former minority-language speakers.; 2. It offers a contextualized, personal, narrative understanding of first language loss during second language acquisition.; 3. It describes what it means to lose a language, especially in terms of participation in the social, educational, and economic systems of the community.; 4. It offers insight into individuals' perceptions of their communicative adaptation in deficit situations.; 5. It opens a window on the lived experiences of people who have lost a first language, as well as on the familial, social, and educational consequences of first language loss. There are four major sections in this book. On What Pretext? is meant to be read as a commentary on the literature review that follows it, and can be read either as a straightforward account of how language loss, immigrant experience, and cultural identity have permeated modern literature, or it can be read as a response to the traditional form of the academic literature review that privileges the research genre as truth and penalizes story or poem as fiction. Some parts of the vignettes are borrowed from literature in poetry and prose, others mobilize artifacts from common culture, others speak to the researcher experience; all have een adapted especially for this document. . 2 The first section, containing the vignette On What Pretext? and the chapter "A Pre/text for Language Loss Research," sets the stage for the rest of the book, introducing theory and research concerned with first language loss. It also briefly describes the research on which this book is based, and the rationale for focusing on life history case studies rather than more traditional forms of second language acquisition (of which first language loss is a part) research. Part I, "Face-Touching: A Story Book," contains five two-part stories. Following the vignette A Musical Interlude, Part I consists of five individual stories of first language loss, told by five different narrators—Ariana, Lara, Richard, Brian, and Helena—in their own voices and words as far as possible. Each story is preceded by an introduction to the story's narrator that describes the interview context, the setting, the atmosphere, the sounds, the social climate, the time of day and year, all of which had an impact on the story that was told. In the introduction, I also give an overview of each person's life so that their language loss stories can be seen in terms of the bigger picture. I also comment on the narrative strategies and language use of each storyteller. Part II, "Dwelling in the Borderlands," is an emergent theme analysis of the issues concerning, and consequences arising from, first language loss. After the vignette entitled Borders, and a separate introduction, it is divided into five chapters—"Family Relationships," "Self-image and Cultural Identity," "School Relationships,'' "School Performance," and "The Meaning of Loss." It draws on 21 completed life history case studies and 1 pilot study. . The conclusion, like the introduction, contains one chapter and one vignette. The vignette, Discordance, represents the current attitudes toward immigrants and English as a Second Language students in Canada, and is meant as a kind of call to arms. The concluding chapter, purposely entitled "Not a Finale: a Decrescendo" summarizes and raises questions about this and future research, and explains the roles researching,re/searching, and writing have played in my own life.It is hoped that this book will not only enable readers individually to validate or change their views of the role of minority languages in public education, but also to critically examine social systems, policy, and educational practice, with a view to: 1. facilitating the best possible language development for minority-language children, indeed, all children; 2. increasing the self-esteem and cultural identity of minority-language students; 3. maintaining the integrity of minority-language families; 4. keeping minority-language students invested in completing and/or continuing their education; 5. engendering equality of educational opportunity; and 6. fostering a working antilinguicist multiculturalism.

Kogan, E. (2001). Gifted bilingual students : A paradox?. New York : P. Lang Pub. (4th floor LC3731 .K64 2001).
Traditionally, Hispanics have been underrepresented in programs for gifted children in the U.S. Kogan (education, Adelphi U., New York) proposes changes in our educational system to enable gifted bilingual Hispanic children to be identified and nurtured in order to realize their full potential. Following an overview of bilingual education, the text discusses definitions and conceptions of giftedness in bilingual populations; identification of gifted bilinguals; approaches to gifted bilingual education; and the involvement of Hispanic parents in their gifted child's education. Detailed case studies of three gifted bilingual Hispanic children are included, followed by implications for the future.Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR (from Einstein Catalog).

Ovando, C. & Collier, V. (1998). Bilingual and ESL classrooms: Teaching in multicultural contexts. Boston: McGraw Hill. (4th floor, LC3731 .O96 1998).
Demographic predictions are that students with close connections to their bilingual/bicultural heritages (now labeled "language minority students" by the federal government) will be very large in number in the near future, becoming the majority in many states over the next three decades. The authors feel it is the responsibility of all educators, not just specialists, to prepare themselves to work with language minority students. This time-tested classic text (not an edited volume) integrates theory and practice and provides comprehensive coverage of all bilingual and ESL issues. The text integrates the fields of ESL, bilingual, and multicultural education and provides rich examples of effective practices and their underlying research knowledge base. This book covers teaching of all the content areas and has separate chapters on teaching mathematics, science, and social studies. The new edition includes research on the English-only movement (chapter 1), a comprehensive review of current research on first and second language acquisition for school (chapter 4), and the crucial research base on culture and the integral role it plays in schooling of diverse linguistic and cultural heritages (chapter 5). A new chapter 3 covers teaching and explores cooperative learning, critical pedagogy, and interdisciplinary, multisensory lessons, using as examples art, technology, and music incorporated into instruction that connects to students' lives inside and outside school.

Krashen, S.D. (1996). Under attack : The case against bilingual education. Culver City, Calif. : Language Education Associates. (4th floor, LC3731 .K73 1996).
Bilingual education is under attack. Letters to the editor, editorials, and talk show hosts repeat the same arguments nearly daily. Bilingual education, they say, doesn't work. Students in bilingual programs do not learn English and those who have never had bilingual education appear to do very well without it. Also, critics claim that most parents and teachers don't want bilingual education, and that it contributes to the erosion of English in the United States. In this empirically grounded monograph, Krashen answers the critics. His book examines the following issues: Does the research show that bilingual education doesn't work?(No) Is English in trouble?(No) Are most parents and teachers against bilingual education?(No) Will bilingual education work for languages other than Spanish?(Yes) What about those who succeed without bilingual education? Is bilingual education good for English? (Yes !) Can bilingual education be improved?(Yes !) (From Amazon Bookstore web site).

Krashen, S,D. (1999). Condemned without a trial : Bogus arguments against bilingual education.Portsmouth, NH : Heinemann.(4th floor, LC3731 .K727 1999).
Here is a timely and important book for anyone concerned about the future of bilingual education in America. Written by Stephen Krashen, the nation's foremost expert on second language acquisition, it disproves many of the false assumptions and outright distortions that led to the passage of Proposition 227 in California. Now, as some of those same arguments proliferate in other states, Krashen explains the bases for five of these key beliefs, and proves--step-by-step--why they are wrong. In its careful delineation of the real issues, Condemned Without a Trial gives educators, administrators, parents, and voters the essential understanding--and evidence--they have heretofore been denied.
