Clark, Jeffrey; Evans, G. Edward (1980). North American Indian Language Materials, 1890-1965: An Annotated Bibliography of Monographic Works. American Indian Bibliographic Series No. 3. The 187 monographs cited in this annotated bibliography on North American Indian language materials cover the period 1890-1965, updating the 9 linguistic bibliographies compiled by James C. Pilling for the U.S. Bureau of (American) Ethnology. Filling the gap between Pilling's works (variously published between 1887 and 1894), this bibliography is designed to be of use in Native American education programs. A detailed introduction describes the scope of the bibliography in terms of: subject inclusions and exclusions; bibliographic form inclusions and exclusions; time period inclusions and exclusions; sources consulted; and entry and annotation procedures. Each work is listed alphabetically by author or title under the language it treats exclusively or principally; however, cross references are also used. The authority for language and dialect designations is C.F. and F. M. Voegelin's \Index to the World's Languages\ (1973). All entries include content and academic level designations….

Carter, Thomas P.; Segura, Roberto D. (1979). Mexican Americans in School: A Decade of Change. Various explanations and possible solutions for the low social status and poor school achievement of the Mexican American are the subject of this book, which examines ethnic characteristics of the Mexican American, socioeconomic conditions in the five southwestern states, and practices and policies of the schools in the Southwest. This book grew out of an earlier work ("Mexicans in School: A History of Educational Neglect") based on the Mexican American Study Project; to supplement the background provided by that extensive investigation, the authors conducted 100 interviews and examined research studies of the past decade, as well as reports of special programs for Mexican Americans that resulted from federal funding for minority group education projects. Chapter headings include"A History of Educational Neglect,""The Outcome of Schooling,""The Failure of the Chicano,""The Default of the School,""Efforts to Adjust the…

(1980). Social Studies: Introductory–Identity. Teacher's Guide and Resource Book=Araling Panlipunan: Intro–Pagkakakilanlan. Ang Patnubay Ng Guro At Hanguang Aklat. This Pilipino teacher's guide is part of Berkeley, California Unified School District Asian American Bilingual Center's effort to foster the total growth of the child. To facilitate that growth, the Center has selected an interdisciplinary approach to curriculum development. Social studies themes and concepts provide the framework within which all the subject areas, including mathematics, reading and language arts, fine arts, and science, are organized. The four social studies themes are child, family, community, and natural environment. The themes reappear and expand through the curriculum from one text to the next and correlate to the concepts of identity, needs, and interaction. The Introductory Level is designed for prekindergarten and kindergarten children. Each level develops one or more aspects of a theme as the child moves from simple to complex ideas and from understanding of self to understanding of society. Unit 1 of the document, entitled \Self-Discovery,\ develops…

Yap, Kim O.; And Others (1990). Making a Difference for the Bilingual Child: How One District Achieved its Goals. The Students of Limited English Proficiency (SLEP) program of the Honolulu School District (Hawaii) is designed to help the large number of limited-English-speaking immigrants adjust to the American culture in the Hawaiian setting by acquiring basic communication skills for regular classroom participation and school activities. The program is implemented in 54 schools with over 60 permanent teachers, 10 educational assistants, and over 80 part-time teachers. Students are selected for participation and exit based on language dominance and proficiency ratings.

Callaway, Donn R. (1985). Washington State Adult Refugee Project. ESL Master Plan (Revised). Guidelines for Institutional Curricula for Refugees. The Washington State English as a Second Language (ESL) Master Plan, part of the Adult Refugee Project, is designed for use by program administrators and instructors in planning institutional curricula. Program goals are the following: (1) enable refugees to reach a level of English usage and cultural familiarity that makes them employable; (2) enable refugees to reach a level of English usage that allows participation in vocational training and upgrading programs; (3) provide for English language improvement for employed refugees; and (4) enable refugees to make a contribution to the new society in which they have resettled. The program distinguishes between illiterate, non-Western refugees and those who are literate, somewhat familiar with Western culture, but unable to speak, read or write English. Students are designated as either preliterate, beginning, or intermediate, based on their degree of literacy, familiarity with Western culture, and proficiency in the English language….

Zarrillo, James (1987). Literature-Centered Reading and Language Minority Students. This paper argues that literature-centered reading programs, based on the perspective that reading is the process of bringing meaning to print, are in the best interest of the language minority students in the nation's elementary schools. After a review of basal reading systems and language-centered reading programs, the paper describes the problems faced by language minority students and limited English proficient (LEP) students in traditional reading programs. Several case studies are presented in the development of second language literacy. The paper concludes with a model of a literature-centered reading program for language minority students which is built on the premises that reading and writing are processes acquired through use; that the ability to read and write competently in two languages is of value; and that elementary school children of the same chronological age differ widely in their interests and abilities. The model advocated in the paper has three phases: (1) core… [PDF]

(1975). Subject Area Glossary: Greek-English Vocabulary. Curriculum Bulletin Number 14. A glossary of Greek counterparts for terms used in the Chicago public schools' curricula is intended to be used by teachers of native Greek-speaking, limited-English speaking students. An introductory section outlines Greek phonology and pronunciation, and ensuing sections provide English vocabulary lists with both the Greek orthography and phonetic transcription of the Greek terms. The vocabulary lists cover words commonly used in art, audiovisual aids, foreign languages, language arts, library science, mathematics, music, physical education, recreation, Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC), science, social studies, and English as a second language. The International Phonetic Alphabet is used as the standard for pronunciation to point out the distinctions between the sound system of the Greek language and that of English. (MSE)…

The report suggests that the program was successful and presents… [PDF]

Saunders, George (1982). Bilingual Children: Guidance for the Family. Multilingual Matters 3. Concerns that parents might have about raising their children bilingually are addressed, and a case study of an Australian family pursuing this course over an 8-year period is presented. In addition, relevant research into bilingualism is cited. Bilingualism means having command of two languages, and bilinguals can range from the rare equilingual who is indistinguishable from a native speaker in both languages to the person who has just begun to acquire a second language. This book, which is written for the general reader, includes the following topical areas: (1) factors to consider in determining a bilingual's dominant language; (2) motives for creating bilingualism; (3) infant bilingualism; (4) children's communications strategies; (5) communication with members of the family, animals, and toys; (6) role-playing; (7) storytelling by the parents; (8) code switching and triggering; (9) quotational switching; (10) attitudes of monolingual English-speakers; (11) influences from…

(1981). New Utrecht High School Project IMPACT. E.S.E.A. Title VII Final Evaluation Report, 1980-81. This report describes and evaluates Project Impact, a magnet program that provided instruction in English as a Second Language and in Italian language skills, and bilingual instruction in science, mathematics, social studies, industrial arts, and secretarial studies to Italian speaking students of limited English proficiency. The program, as implemented in 1980-81, aimed to develop English language skills to effect a gradual transition into the mainstream within 2 years. Aside from instruction, the program provided for curriculum and materials development, counseling and supportive services, staff development, and parent involvement. Evaluation indicated that some gains were achieved in English reading, English listening comprehension, and Italian reading. However, irregularities in the pattern of gains and in correlations between pretests and posttests suggested that the achievement data in these areas were inconclusive. In mathematics, relatively significant gains were… [PDF]

Jones, Earl; And Others (1980). Evaluation of California's Educational Services to Limited and Non-English Speaking Students; Volume I, Final Report. Designed to assist California policy and decision makers with planning to meet the future educational needs of limited-English speaking (LES) and non-English speaking (NES) students, this study was undertaken: (1) to describe and analyze the implementation of all areas of the legislatively required services to LES/NES children, and the structures which support those services, particularly in terms of instructional strategies, financial resources and utilization, teacher preparation, and district policies; (2) to relate these implementation factors with measures of program effectiveness through analysis of student achievement and the satisfaction of students, parents, teachers, aides, and administrators with the bilingual instructional services, and thus determine the relationship between program implementation and impact on children and others involved in the program; and (3) to analyze procedures for the state and local language census of LES/NES children and examine the…

(1975). People of Native Ancestry, A Resource Guide for the Primary and Junior Divisions. Basic principles of primary-junior education as they pertain specifically to people of native ancestry in Ontario are elaborated in this resource guide. Intended for both native and non-native teachers, principals, and administrators responsible for curriculum for children of native ancestry and others, its aim is to help in development of a stronger curriculum based upon experience of the children. Through more realistic units on native peoples, the resource guide maintains that the native child's self-image can be strengthened and communitywide appreciation of original Canadian people fostered. Pointing out the importance of considering the native child's family, community, economic activity, and self-image in planning curriculum content, a discussion on curriculum also includes activities which teachers of non-native primary students can use in units about native peoples, a teacher checklist for curricular activity planning, and the need to examine curriculum within the context…

Russell, William; Snow, David (1977). A Bilingual Study of Selected Syntactic Skills in Spanish-Speaking Children. Technical Report 60. Twelve Spanish-speaking kindergarteners livinq in Los Angeles were tested for usage of English verb tense morphemes through responses elicited during task situations that were dramatized with the use of toy-like realia. The children were first asked to provide a constructed response to questions, and were then given model sentences for immediate imitation. For comparison, three English-speaking kindergarteners were similarly tested. A longitudinal follow-up was done at the first-grade and third-grade levels. The data were sufficient to support an acquisition sequence for five auxiliary morphemes. In kindergarten, only the progressive suffix "-ing" was produced to criterion by a high percentage of the Spanish speakers. In first grade, "did" came under control. In third grade, where morphemic tense usage within relative clauses was recorded, perfective "have" and the suffixes "-ed" and "-en" reached criterion in certain contexts…

Houlton, David; King, Edith W. (1984). Implications of Britain's Mother Tongue Project for American Multiethnic Education. The multiethnic situation in American schools in the 1980s can be compared to that of Britain in the 1960s, when a sudden influx of non-English-speaking children in great numbers taxed the resources of an educational system dedicated to the English language. Arguments favoring multicultural education are increasing in both countries, and the need for a multilingual curriculum and parent involvement are also recognized. In 1981 Britain's School Council undertook a major program to offer assistance in the form of resources and guidelines to teachers wishing to extend the native language skills of their primary students. Teachers developed instructional materials promoting intercultural communication, and materials for other teachers, especially those not speaking the students' native languages. American programs and publications have focused on similar issues in minority language instruction. However, developing a unified policy in conditions of wide diversity is a complex… [PDF]

McBeath, Gerald A.; And Others (1982). Achievement and School Effectiveness: Three Case Studies. A Report to the Alaska Department of Education. Case studies of high student achievement levels and school effectiveness from three rural Alaska Native schools, all offering some bilingual or bicultural classes, examine curriculum and school instructional practices, school social systems, student outcomes, aspects of school governance, and school-community relations. Chaputnguak High School, in the Yupik Eskimo village of Chefornak, enrolls 29 students in individualized, self-paced mastery programs and has the region's highest graduation requirements; school-community relations are excellent, students have positive attitudes and a sense of "ownership," and one-third to one-half of seniors enter college. Metlakatla elementary/secondary school, in a Tsimshian Indian village, has a history of local control and emphasizes teaching basics; student academic achievement, measured on standardized tests, is very good compared to other rural small schools in Alaska, but some questions exist about school effectiveness in meeting…

Crawford, Reva (1980). Mississippi Choctaw Parent Child Development Program: Impact Study. The Mississippi Choctaw Parent Child Development Program (PCDP), initially funded by the BIA in 1973 as a pilot project, has had a reservation-wide impact in each of its four main areas of focus: health and nutrition; education; social services; and staff and parent development. There has been a measurable decrease in early childhood infectious diseases and parasitic infections. Participating two and three year old children have shown increased skills in five areas of cognitive development, especially language. As a direct result of PCDP referrals at least 31 families per year received General Assistance and Child Welfare Assistance Payments and 300 parents received some type of training. Prevention of child abuse has been an especially effective area of PCDP. Parents, working closely with the program, have increased their understanding of their children and improved their parenting skills. The availability of free, quality care for preschool children has increased family earning…

Berney, Tomi D.; Stern, Lucia (1990). Career Awareness Program. Project CAP, 1988-89. OREA Report. The Career Awareness Program (Project CAP) served 244 Chinese-speaking students, most of limited English proficiency, at 2 intermediate schools. The project's aim was to encourage students to stay in school by acquainting them with career opportunities available to high school graduates. Activities included bilingual career awareness classes, staff and curriculum development, supplementary activities for students, and parent outreach. Students took classes in English as a Second Language (ESL), and in native language arts (NLA). The project met its instructional objectives in ESL and content area courses. Data were insufficient for evaluating computer skills and NLA objectives. Non-instructional objectives in attendance and staff development were met. Staff members participated in teacher training conferences and workshops and enrolled in college courses. The program developed resource manuals, held parent workshops, organized conferences attended by representatives of business and… [PDF]

Cochran, Effie Papatzikou; Cotayo, Armando (1983). Louis D. Brandeis High School. Demonstration Bilingual Enrichment College Preparatory Program. O.E.E. Evaluation Report, 1981-1982. The Demonstration Bilingual Enrichment College Preparatory Program at Louis D. Brandeis High School in New York City is designed to address the needs of the "academically more able" student with limited English proficiency. The program supplements the school's existing services for 120 Spanish-dominant students, and offers instructional programs in cultural activities, special mathematics and English courses geared to college entrance examinations, and college advisement. An evaluation of the program's first year, based on student achievement in English language development and growth in their mastery of their native language, mathematics, social studies, and science, shows that (1) students mastered 1.3 objectives per month of instruction in English as a second language, but fell short of the program objective of 1.5 per month; (2) students made statistically and educationally significant gains in reading; (3) most of the students passed teacher-made examinations in… [PDF]
