The Case for Teaching Mandarin Chinese in HISD
The document makes the case for teaching Mandarin Chinese in the Houston Independent School District. It summarizes research showing that starting world language education early (K-5) is common practice in most industrialized countries. Only a small number of US states require world language education, and even fewer require it at the elementary level. Studies also show that learning a second language improves academic performance in other subjects and helps close achievement gaps. Furthermore, foreign language ability is important for national interests like security, economic competitiveness, and an informed citizenry. As China is projected to be a major future trade partner, learning Mandarin could position Houston students and the city well economically.

Five factors affecting language learning strategies by Nur Alia Syahida
This document discusses several factors that can influence language learning motivation and achievement, including motivation, socioeconomic status, learning period, ethnicity and culture, and age. It reports on various studies that have found motivation and socioeconomic status to be important influences, with motivated students and those from higher income families tending to perform better. Longer learning periods are also found to correlate with stronger language skills. Ethnicity and culture can impact learning strategies, and age is a factor as well, with younger learners generally absorbing a new language more easily than adults.

It outlines Sebastian's academic challenges and cultural funds of knowledge. The document also discusses literacy expectations of the Common Core State Standards for English language learners and recommends instructional strategies teachers can use to help English learners meet those expectations.
Hl reading in the university
This study surveyed 128 heritage language students about their experiences with and preferences for reading in their heritage language at the university level. The majority of students were born in the U.S. and spoke English most of the time but felt it was important to maintain their heritage language identity. Most students reported being more confident in listening and speaking than reading and writing skills. While few spent significant time reading, most expressed interest in developing college-level academic reading abilities in their heritage language. The findings suggest heritage language programs should utilize students' motivation to learn and develop materials and curricula to sustain interest in heritage language literacy.

Learning a foreign language aids brain development by engaging both sides of the brain and supporting cognitive development, especially when learned early in life. A study of 67 sixth-graders learning French found that those who studied the language longest performed best on cognitive tasks. Teaching foreign languages fosters cultural competence by helping students understand and communicate with diverse cultures, which is important for reducing issues like misunderstandings due to differing cultural beliefs and communication styles. Being proficient in another language also provides professional advantages and prepares students for an increasingly global workforce and multicultural society.
Onslow splash immersion_shortresearch_2014
This document discusses Onslow County Schools' Splash Language Immersion program. It notes that the program aims to help students become proficient in a second language through instruction in content areas rather than standalone language lessons.

BIlingualism and Biculturalism
To what extent does acquiring a second language also mean acquiring a second language behaviour? This study tests the hypothesis that fluent speakers of more than one language display different cognitive patterns when performing word association tasks in different languages.
Seven Mandarin-English bilingual participants performed a simple word association task in both English and Mandarin in which they rapidly spoke words that they associated with each of a series of terms describing rare or imaginary animals.
As a control, the same task was performed in English by seven monolingual English native speakers.
Responses were then divided into three separate pairs according to language and speakers’ background: (i) Englishes (monolinguals’ and bilinguals’ responses in English), (ii) L1s (responses given by participants in their first language), (iii) Bilinguals (bilingual participants’ responses in both languages).
Similarities were quantified using Hellinger Affinity index. Interesting data emerged, showing a significantly higher affinity score within the Englishes compared to the L1s.
This suggests that bilingual speakers performed different kinds of associations to the same animal according to what language they were asked to speak at the time: their word associations when speaking English were more similar to those performed by native English speakers if compared to the word associations they performed when speaking Mandarin Chinese. As shown in the following examples, the affinity score for Englishes is higher than the affinity score for L1s: crocodile (Englishes: 0.72, L1s: 0.528, Bilinguals: 0.771), panda (Englishes: 0.734, L1s: 0.679, Bilinguals: 0.704), lion (Englishes: 0.732, L1s: 0.478, Bilinguals: 0.886), bear (Englishes: 0.678, L1s: 0.405, Bilinguals: 0.623), dragon (Englishes: 0.578, L1s: 0.263, Bilinguals: 0.544).

It can make you smarter through improved problem solving and reasoning skills, boost academic achievement, and provide professional advantages through increased job opportunities in a globalized world. Speaking an additional language also allows you to access more international education, information, and social/cultural experiences while strengthening national security. Overall, becoming multilingual enriches life by opening doors to communicate with more people around the world.
Multilingual education
The document discusses bilingual and multilingual education around the world, including the use of minority and indigenous languages in schools. It examines different models of bilingual education such as immersion programs, transitional bilingual education, and maintenance bilingual education. Key issues addressed include the role of language in education, cultural and linguistic rights, and how schools can balance global and local languages.
Lingustically diverse
This document discusses strategies for supporting a Spanish-speaking English language learner (ELL) student named Maria in Kindergarten. Maria comes from a low-income family and speaks little English. The document outlines Maria's background and academic challenges in vocabulary, comprehension, and communication. It then discusses leveraging Maria's cultural and linguistic strengths as "funds of knowledge" and using evidence-based strategies aligned with the Common Core standards to help her overcome challenges. These include building background knowledge, explicit vocabulary instruction, repeated readings, and culturally responsive teaching that values Maria's home culture and language.
English Language Learners
The document discusses the growing population of English Language Learners (ELLs) in U.S. K-12 school systems. It notes that as more immigrant families enter the country, they enroll their children in schools, many of whom are ELLs. The regions with the largest ELL populations are the South and Southwest near the U.S.-Mexico border. While states like California and Arizona have long had many ELLs, other areas are experiencing rapid growth of ELL students. This increasing population challenges schools with issues like overcrowded classrooms, language barriers, and the need to develop teachers trained to work with ELLs through foreign language classes and workshops to close communication gaps.
Mother tongue by S.P.Mohanty and Kalpana Dash
This document discusses the importance of a child's mother tongue in their development and future learning abilities. It argues that a child's first language, which they learn from birth from their mother, creates the powerful basis for their future life and learning. It provides several reasons for this, including that the mother tongue is essential for transmitting culture and developing a sense of identity and belonging. It also discusses that being proficient in one's mother tongue helps facilitate learning additional languages later on in life. The document recommends several techniques for promoting the use and development of a child's mother tongue at home.
Sociopresentation
This document summarizes a study examining Chinese heritage language learning from the perspective of dialect speakers. The study involved interviews with 64 Chinese language students with heritage backgrounds. It generated 3 conceptual categories to understand identity issues: imagined Chinese communities and dialects, linguistic hegemony and transculturation, and language investment and globalization. Some interviewees identified as Chinese American but felt seen as foreigners in China. Others saw Mandarin as more useful than their native dialect. The study concluded teachers should adjust curriculum for learners' backgrounds and that dialect students can enrich heritage language pedagogy through diversity.
Myths About Acquiring a Second Language
This document summarizes several myths about acquiring a second language. Myth 1 is that learning a second language is entirely different than a first language, when in fact there are many parallels in the acquisition process. Myth 2 is that younger learners are better at pronunciation, when older learners can sometimes be more efficient. Myth 3 is that speaking ability guarantees academic skill, when contextualized instruction is also needed. Myth 4 is that academic English is equally challenging for all, when the difficulty depends on many individual factors like prior education. Myth 5 is that increased English exposure guarantees faster learning, but other influences are also important. Myth 6 is that certain cultural or language backgrounds are better, when success depends on social and academic factors instead.
Language acquisition
This document discusses language acquisition for ESL students. It addresses several myths around language learning and emphasizes that language acquisition is influenced by socio-cultural, linguistic, academic, and cognitive development factors. The Prism Model illustrates how these interdependent factors come together in second language acquisition. Younger students have an advantage in acquiring native-like pronunciation, but older students can acquire a language more quickly once instruction begins. Both social and academic language skills must be developed for students to achieve academic success. A variety of instructional approaches can be used to integrate language and content learning in a way that values students' cultures and makes the classroom learner-centered.
English language learners in school
This document discusses key terms related to English language learners (ELLs), including limited English proficient, English learner, English as a second language, and more. It provides information about the demographic backgrounds of ELL students and considerations for teachers, such as learning about students' home cultures and literacy experiences. It also outlines common stages of culture shock that ELL students may experience and strategies to promote safety, belonging, and adjustment.
Reading workshop
This document summarizes several presentations from an applied linguistics conference on reading materials and strategies for English language learners (ELLs). It includes an overview of the conference agenda, which featured three presentations on using culturally relevant reading materials, high interest materials, and the impact of reading aloud on pronunciation and comprehension. It then provides more detailed summaries of two individual presentations, one on the impact of intercultural literature on ELL reading comprehension and engagement, and another on selecting high interest reading materials in an ESL classroom.

English Language Learners in the Mainstream Classroom
This document provides information and strategies for mainstream classroom teachers to effectively support English Language Learners (ELLs). It discusses that most ELLs in the US are Spanish-speakers from immigrant families and face socioeconomic challenges. While ELLs develop social English quickly, academic English takes longer and must be explicitly taught. The document recommends strategies like building background knowledge, explicit vocabulary and language development instruction, scaffolding, and connecting reading and writing. It emphasizes the importance of both the students' native language and English in developing literacy in order to support ELLs in mainstream classrooms.

This document analyzes the suitability of literature textbooks assigned to secondary school students in Sudan. It finds that the textbooks, which include Things Fall Apart, Treasure Island, Jane Eyre, and others, do not adequately meet students' linguistic abilities, cultural background, age or interests. Through content analysis of the textbooks, the study finds they were not properly selected to align with students' needs and requirements. It recommends that student needs and cultural factors be considered more carefully when choosing reading materials for secondary students in Sudan.Schools Should End Up Hurting American Students
The author argues that terms like "disruptive innovation" are often used imprecisely in everyday conversation. Even companies commonly referred to as disruptive, like Uber, may not truly fit the definition. This casual use of jargon terms can be misleading for corporate leaders. Rather than overreacting to calls to "disrupt or be disrupted," incumbents should carefully assess actual competitive threats on a case-by-case basis. Creating a strong corporate culture and shared values may help motivate employees in today's global business environment.
Schools Should End Up Hurting American Students
The author argues that terms like "disruptive innovation" are often used imprecisely in everyday conversation. Even companies commonly referred to as disruptive, like Uber, may not truly fit the definition. This casual use of jargon terms can mislead corporate leaders to overreact to the idea that they must "disrupt or be disrupted." Instead, incumbents should carefully monitor changes rather than feel pressured into unnecessary actions. Precise use of language is important to have meaningful discussions about business strategies.
English Language Teaching Materials and Learners’ Cultural Identity
This document summarizes an article about how English language teaching materials can impact learners' cultural identities. It discusses how globally produced textbooks often reflect Western culture while nationally produced materials maintain learners' native cultural identities. Three versions of localization are described: strong localization relies entirely on local culture; weak localization adapts global textbooks to the local context; moderate localization balances local and international cultures. The document advocates for the moderate approach of including both home and target cultural elements to motivate learners and equip them with intercultural communication skills.

Students’ Attitudes and Motivation Towards Learning Literature in English in...Research Journal of Education
This paper investigated students’ attitudes and motivation towards learning literature in English in three government secondary schools in Zanzibar (one in urban and two in rural areas). The study had a sample of 96 people; 45 boys, 45 girls, and 6 teachers who were teaching literature in English at the selected schools. They were selected through purposive sampling technique. Mixed method was used. Data were collected through interview, observation, and questionnaires. Predictable variables were number of teachers teaching the subject and their qualifications, learning environment, teaching and learning materials, and students’ attitudes and motivation towards learning the subject. Findings revealed that there was shortage of teachers teaching the subject, and some of them were not trained. Students had positive attitudes and motivation towards learning the subject because it was a source of information not only from their own society but also from the world at large. Additionally, literature in English was found a means of entertainment as well as educating the students. However, students’ positive attitudes and motivation towards learning the subject were hindered by unfavourable conditions such as shortage of literature books, difficult English vocabularies, large class sizes, limited time to read suggested literature books, poor teaching methods, and teachers themselves. As a result the study suggests the provision of appropriate and adequate reading materials to all secondary schools, expose teachers to more training so as to be more knowledgeable about various suitable methods of teaching the subject, and improve classroom learning environment.Libraries Assisting Students with Reading and English Language Challenges
This document discusses opportunities for libraries to assist students with reading and English language challenges. It notes that many community college students are in developmental education programs, ESL/ELL programs, or have literacy issues. The document then discusses challenges these students face in the library and provides ideas for how libraries can help through tutoring, instructional methods tailored to their needs, collection development of appropriate materials, and identifying opportunities to incorporate library instruction into relevant courses.
