This book is a research-based practical guide for educators who work with students whose linguistic and cultural background is different from their own. Illustrated with many practical examples of classroom activities, projects, and teaching strategies, the book is also an introduction to immigrant education for school administrators and educational planners in communities or regions that are in the process of developing plans and programs for newcomer students. Although the focus is on first-generation immigrant children, many of the recommended approaches and instructional strategies described in this book can be used or adapted for use with second-generation children and historical linguistic and cultural minorities, such as children from Aboriginal communities in North America or children of Roma background in Europe.

Industry Reviews

Language and Learning in Multilingual Classrooms is peppered with insightful research-based boxed texts that set the record straight on the benefits of diversity and pictures showing linguistically diverse classrooms...For instructors and administrators with little experience working with the realities of multilingual classrooms, this text not only bridges the practice gap but also helps teachers and educators realign their philosophical orientation toward advocacy.
