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.

Easterbrooks, S. R. (2002). Language learning in children who are deaf and hard of hearing : Multiple pathways. Boston : Allyn and Bacon. (4th floor HV2430 .E27 2002).
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).

Livingston, S. (1997). Rethinking the education of deaf students: Theory and practice from a teacher's perspective. Portsmouth, N.H. : Heinemann.(4th floor, HV2469.E5 L58 1997).
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).

Metzger, M. (Ed.). (2000). Bilingualism and identity in deaf communities. Washington, DC: Gallaudet University Press.(4th floor HV2471 .B55 2000).
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.

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.

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).

Educators, parents, administrators, interpreters, and members of the Deaf and hard of hearing community explore Deaf Studies as a framework for teaching and learning. The challenge is to develop a curriculum that will truly offer disciplined and formal access to deaf people’s rich linguistic, social, and cultural heritage in order to develop individuals who are capable of enjoying dual membership in both the Deaf and the hearing communities.

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.

Baker (education, U. of Wales at Bangor) presents a comprehensive textbook on bilingualism at individual, group and national levels which covers major issues and controversies about language minorities and bilingual education. The third edition includes minor changes (updates of references, additions of research findings) plus the addition of new and more thoroughly covered topics. These include changes in bilingual education in the U.S.; Dual Language schools; California and Proposition 227; economic advantages of bilingual education; language loss in the world and endangered languages; the politics of language testing, and more. Written for an international audience, and intended to introduce students to a positive world of bilingualism and bilingual education. c. Book News Inc. (from RIT Library Catalog).

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).

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.

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 RIT LIbrary 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.
