About this product

Product Information

This compelling book examines the often cited but poorly supported claims that immigrants fail to learn English, and the mistaken belief that immigrant communities cling to their heritage languages. The author reveals that, on the contrary, English is being learned at a rapid pace while heritage languages are disappearing quickly from family use. She shows us how current assumptions have a pervasive influence on language policy in the United States. Ultimately, the author argues for an educational approach that effectively embraces immigrant communities as they tackle the obstacles to language learning in the United States. This unique volume offers a short, readable introduction to these issues suitable for nonspecialists as well as educators, researchers, and other professionals.

Reviews
In clear and elegant prose, Lucy Tse debunks prevalent myths about English-language learning among immigrant children. - Jim Cummins, University of Toronto; ""Lucy Tse is among the few to explain the causes and consequences of language loss in human terms. Her perceptive, readable, and thoroughly documented study should be on the bookshelf of every educator of immigrant students."" - James Crawford, author of At War with Diversity: U.S. Language Policy in an Age of Anxiety

Book had insufficient packing. The bent, torn corners of the book show that a heavy hardback book will poke holes in plastic bubble wrap. Especially “media mail” which is made for magazines at best. It was paid for 5-3, Post Office 5-7 set 5–13 arrival date. It shuffled around multiple sites but never got to GA. Arrived 5-13! I would have paid for Priority 2 day if it was available but it was not offered to me. I would never waste a moment more of this sellers time by buying from again.

    Love this book!

    Lucy Tse's book is a quick read that give good back ground on the bilingual education debate and why it is important to maintain heritage languages. Love this book!
