Title: Teaching Reading to Low-Literate Language Minority High School Students.
Author(s) Thomas, Thomas
Publication Date: 1999
Available from: EDRS Price MF01/PC03 Plus Postage.

This paper, written from the perspective of a classroom teacher who is also the child of immigrant parents, examines issues related to teaching reading to low-literate minority students for whom English is not their first language. The paper presents background issues, examines the process of language acquisition, and focuses on the following: the political context (this country is in the middle of a controversy over bilingual issues, with several states arguing over how to teach new immigrants and various federal mandates about bilingual education); educational factors that affect the process of gaining English proficiency (teacher effectiveness and student motivation); cultural factors that influence immigrants' adjustment to U.S. education (including language); key principles of second language acquisition (e.g., literacy in the first language); age and second language acquisition; language and meaning (the importance of cultural relevance); and instructional strategies (environment, meaning and the language experience approach, content-centered approach, and cooperative learning).

Title: Enabling Academic Success for Secondary Students with Limited Formal Schooling: A Study of the Haitian Literacy Program at Hyde Park High School in Boston.
Author(s) Walsh, Catherine E.
Publication Date: 1999
Available from: EDRS Price MF01/PC04 Plus Postage.

This publication documents a successful literacy program for a specific at-risk group, the Haitian Literacy Program at Hyde Park High School, Boston, Massachusetts. In operation since 1988, the Haitian Literacy Program is the longest running high school literacy program in the region for bilingual students with limited formal education. Through a case study approach, the educational success of these students and the program traits that staff and students believe have enabled academic achievement, high school graduation, and participation in higher education are examined. The program is designed for secondary school students with less than a fourth-grade level of formal education or no literacy skills in their native language or English. It is an intensive, self-contained program focused on developing the skills needed to participate in bilingual education classes. In its 9 years of operation, the program has averaged 20 students each year. Data were collected through case study and collaborative approaches from document reviews, ethnographic observations, interviews, and focus group discussions. Key elements of program success were identified as: (1) the commitment and dedication of the native language teacher; (2) the relationship between English as a second language and native language teachers and instruction; (3) the interdisciplinary, thematic, and self-contained instructional format; and (4) the self-determination of the students. Three appendixes contain discussions of data sources and initial literacy assessments and a literacy checklist.

Title: Academic Success for Long-Term ESL Students.
Author(s) Newell, Jessica; Smith, Joye
Publication Date: March 1999
Available from: EDRS Price MF01/PC01 Plus Postage.

The study examines the population of long-term students of English as a second language (ESL), those who are enrolled in ESL programs for four to eight years but have not mastered the cognitive and academic skills in English to compete at grade level, in one New York City (New York) high school, and the efforts being made to address this population's needs. Background information is offered on student entry into and progress in the school system's ESL programs, and possible general factors in the lack of progress of long-term ESL (LTL) students. The procedures for identifying LTL students at the high school in question are described, using student writing samples as illustration. The program of literacy instruction designed to address these students' needs is elaborated, again using case examples. The program includes reading and writing components, note-taking skill development, native language arts instruction, several forms of assessment, and active support of this population by teachers and administrators.

Title: Creating "Vietnamerican" Discourse: Ethnic Identity in the ESL Classroom.
Author(s) Allendoerfer, Cheryl
Publication Date: April 1999
Available from: EDRS Price MF01/PC02 Plus Postage.

An ethnographic study examined how learning English and becoming more literate in the dominant discourse affects the identity or self-concept of Vietnamese immigrant students, and how new discourse may be created as students negotiate multiple literacies. It was conducted in a Seattle area high school and focused on 22 Vietnamese students in an English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) program, all of whom had lived in the United States for one to four years. Data were gathered using observation, informal conversations, a photography and writing project undertaken with the students, and formal interviews with students, teachers, and administrators. Analysis explored several issues: how students perceived their ethnic identities; what "Americanization" means to the students, their parents, and their teachers; how definitions of the concept differ among the groups, and the conflicts that may arise therefrom; and whether immigrant students need to identify with the dominant discourse or majority culture to succeed in American schools. Results challenge the assumption that assimilation means adopting elements of the new culture alongside the native culture, and suggest that a third culture is constructed with elements resembling elements of the first two but fundamentally different from either.

Title: The Vocational Classroom: A Great Place To Learn English.
Author(s) Platt, Elizabeth
Publication Date: 1996
Availability: NCLE, 1118 22nd Street N.W., Washington, DC 20037.

This guide discusses the ways in which educators in technical and vocational education programs can maximize opportunities for limited-English-proficient students to learn English language skills. Vocational classrooms are viewed as potentially excellent environments for language learning because of the hands-on nature of the work, undertaken in pairs of small groups, using authentic materials and equipment, and requiring interpersonal communication. In addition, learners are often highly motivated. An introductory section reviews this approach and the literature supporting it. The second section looks at the role of the vocational curriculum in language teaching, including the types of language curricula (grammar-based, functional, and process-based) that can be used as referents in developing vocational-based language instruction, elements of vocational curricula that may be exploited for language learning, student need analysis and placement issues, and implications for implementation by vocational teachers, language teachers, and administrators. The third section offers more detailed suggestions for developing content-based language teaching activities, based on principles of scaffolding vocational instruction and fostering independent learning, at each of four proficiency levels from pre-speaking to high-intermediate/low-advanced. Examples of authentic activities are offered. Contains 63 references.

Title: "My Trouble Is My English": Asian Students and the American Dream.
Author(s) Fu, Danling
Publication Date: 1995
Availability: Boynton/Cook, Heinemann, 361 Hanover St., Portsmouth, NH 03801-3912 ($21.50).

Examining the learning experiences of four Laotian students at a mainstream secondary school, this book describes and interprets the students' learning situations and reveals their perspectives along with those of their teachers. The book introduces readers to the Savang family, refugees who left Laos. The book also shows how open journal writing assignments began to tap the rich stories this family had to tell. The book provides information on how students with different cultural backgrounds and learning styles react, behave, and learn in a classroom and how teachers can use that knowledge to create a community of learners. The first chapter provides background on the four siblings: their family and life in their home country, in their refugee camps, and in the United States. Chapter 2 of the book describes the four adolescents and their general situation at school. Chapters 3 though 6 are case studies of the four with a focus on their reading and writing experiences at school. The case studies in the book are organized thematically rather than chronologically (according to their ages). The concluding chapter reflects on the study and discusses issues related to literacy instruction and multiculturalism in the field of education.

Title: Computer Pilot: Learning 100 On-Line System, 1991-92.
Pages: 27
Publication Date: 1992
Available from: EDRS Price MF01/PC02 Plus Postage.

During the spring 1992 term, James Monroe High School piloted Learning 100 On-Line, a remedial reading/literacy computer program developed by Educational Developmental Laboratories, Inc. The program, which was developed for junior high and high school students and adults reading at or below grade level, was implemented in two English- as-a-Second-Language, three Special Education, and four English classes. It is noted that Learning 100 On-Line is an integrated instruction and management system that diagnoses, prescribes, instructs, provides practice and reinforcement in, and evaluates mastery of reading, writing, vocabulary, and language competencies. It is noted further that it provides a multisensory, individualized approach which is designed to accommodate a variety of learning styles and educational backgrounds. An evaluation of the impact of the program on student attendance and academic achievement found the pilot to be successful on several levels. Several specific recommendations for schools that may wish to purchase the program are included. This report is presented in four sections: (1) Introduction--program background, evaluation methodology and scope of the report; (2) Program Implementation--use of the system, perceptions of the system and its strengths and weaknesses; (3) Student Outcomes--reading performance and attendance; and (4) Conclusions and Recommendations. Two tables present summaries of students' pre- and posttest scores on the reading comprehension subtest and spring 1992 percentage of attendance by group and gender.

Title: Discourse and Social Practice: Learning To Use Language in Bilingual Classrooms.
Author(s) Warren, Beth; Rosenberg, Ann S.
Pages: 28
Publication Date: January 12, 1991
Notes: Paper presented at a Colloquium on Biliteracy Theory and Practice (Washington, DC, January 12, 1991).
Available from: EDRS Price MF01/PC02 Plus Postage.

A study of biliteracy focuses on discourse as the unit of analysis needed to understand the task facing bilingual students. It investigated the way in which 22 high school students representing six different language groups in a bilingual basic skills course struggled with scientific language in an experiment on the community's drinking water. Most students were not literate and had had no previous science experience. During the investigation, students began to appropriate the intentional possibilities of language in order to construct scientific meanings and resolve a dilemma posed by the evidence at hand. It is concluded that while in traditional book-based bilingual education, students are expected to assimilate decontextualized language, this active learning approach causes students to construct both language and content knowledge by confronting authentic dilemmas. A 34-item bibliography is included.
