One Child, Many Worlds: Early Learning in Multicultural CommunitiesEve Gregory David Fulton Publishers, 1997 - 182 من الصفحات By drawing on the experiences of children aged 3 to 8 attending schools in the US, Britain, Germany, Iceland, and Australia, the authors of these eleven case studies aim to provide insights into what it means for young children to enter a new language and culture in school. They examine the scope of out-of-school language and learning practices, i.e. the role of care givers, siblings, and community language classes. They aim to help teachers develop culturally responsive teaching programs based on an awareness of the knowledge children bring from home and the community. Finally, they suggest ways in which the teacher can act as mediator of a new language and culture in school. |
