Preschool Teachers' Best Companion for Multilingual Classrooms
14 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback
Who doesn't have a child with a different home language in your class? Raise your hand.
The last two decades have seen exponential growth in the number of languages spoken in classrooms around the world (not only the US), and this fast trend will continue in the future.
Preschool teachers can help their young students develop a solid foundation in the school and home languages. Unfortunately, there is a big gap in teacher certification programs that include even the most basic language preparation. It's time to change that. It's time to get the information that we need to provide the best possible education for our multilingual students.
Karen Nemeth's unique book is a thorough, comprehensive resource for early childhood educators and administrators who want to get ready for today's preschoolers.
What I particularly like about Karen's book is that:
* It is hands-on. You will learn how to rearrange your classroom, look for the right resources, and implement efficient techniques from day one.
* It pertains to the whole child. All areas of childhood development are explored, from literacy to movement, from art to math, from cognition to emotion, from drills and practice to imagination.
* It travels from indoor to outdoor, school to home. A child does not learn language only in school. Every setting is a learning opportunity.
* It encourages parent-teacher collaboration. Parents can be the best partners in education, and even more so in language education.
I am very fortunate to have seen Karen present at several teacher conferences. I am always impressed by the fabulous ideas that I come out with!
I highly recommend this book to preschool teachers and to all of you interested in languages and young children. You may also want to check out Karen's website at [...]
Enjoy!
