Asian Americans in Bilingualism and Bilingual Education (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This book centers and amplifies the voices and complex lived experiences of Asian Americans in bilingual education. Drawing from the fields of bilingual education and ethnic studies, the chapters discuss language ideologies, anti-racist pedagogies, language loss and teacher and student experiences to explore how multilingualism is experienced distinctly by Asian Americans. Recognising the heterogeneity within Asian American communities, the book highlights underrepresented Asian languages such as Hmong, Khmer and Lao and discusses both formal and informal education settings. It employs multiple critical theoretical frameworks including AsianCrit, decoloniality, intersectionality, critical refugee, raciolinguistics, counterhegemonic and anti-racist pedagogies, humanization and transnationalism and showcases a wide range of narratives and qualitative methodologies. As the first book fully dedicated to Asian American experiences in bilingual education, this will be of interest to researchers, teacher educators and postgraduate students in applied linguistics, Asian American studies, higher education and bilingual education.
