Download Affirming Language Diversity in Schools and Society Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Language is perhaps the most common issue that surfaces in debates over school reform, and plays a vital role in virtually everything we are involved. This edited volume explores linguistic apartheid, or the disappearance of certain languages through cultural genocide by dominant European colonizers and American neoconservative groups. These groups have historically imposed hegemonic languages, such as English and French, on colonized people at the expense of the native languages of the latter. The book traces this form of apartheid from the colonial era to the English-only movement in the United States, and proposes alternative ways to counter linguistic apartheid that minority groups and students have faced in schools and society at large. Contributors to this volume provide a historical overview of the way many languages labeled as inferior, minority, or simply savage have been attacked and pushed to the margins, discriminating against and attempting to silence the voice of those who spoke and continue to speak these languages. Further, they demonstrate the way and the extent to which such actions have affected the cultural life, learning process, identity, and the subjective and material conditions of linguistically and historically marginalized groups, including students.

Language and Society is a broad introduction to the interaction of language and society, intended for undergraduate students majoring in any academic discipline. The book discusses the complex socio-political roles played by large, dominant languages around the world and how the growth of major national and official languages is threatening the continued existence of smaller, minority languages. As individuals adopt new ways of speaking, many languages are disappearing, others are evolving into hybrid languages with distinctive new forms, and even long-established languages are experiencing significant change, with young speakers creating novel expressions and innovative pronunciations. Making use of a wide range of case studies selected from the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa, Andrew Simpson describes and explains key factors causing language variation and change which relate to societal structures and the expression of group and personal identity. The volume also examines how speakers' knowledge of language acts as an important force controlling access to education, advances in employment and the development of social status. Additional topics discussed in the volume focus on the global growth of English, gendered patterns of language use, and the influence of language on perception.

This book contains all the plenary addresses from the 1984 International Federation for the Teaching of English Seminar on Language, Schooling, and Society held at Michigan State University in November, 1984. These include addresses by Anthony Adams (U.K.), Garth Boomer (Aus), Frances Christie (N.Z.), John Dixon (U.K.), Mary Maguire (Can.), James Moffett (U.S.A.), Robert Pattison (U.S.A.), Ian Pringle (Can.) and Louise Rosenblatt (U.S.A.). In addition, the book contains the reports of the five Commissions that met several times daily during the Seminar: Language, Politics, and Public Affairs; Language and Schooling; Language and the New Media; Language, Literature, and Human Values;and Language and Multicultural Education. It is these that give the book its great importance, as the leaders of English education in the five member countries of I.F.T.E. unite in a ringing cry for genuine implementation of a learner-centered growth model of English at all levels of the English language arts curriculum, and a united opposition to those external societal pressures which impede the work and the professionalism of English/language arts teachers.
