Description
Centered on theory, practice, and action, Bilingualism and Bilingual Education: Conceptos Fundamentales explores relevant concepts for pre-service bilingual teachers and bilingual educators to develop translingual classrooms with bilingual students in which academic English and Spanish are intentionally mixed.
“Let me start with my conclusion: This book is a mandatory read for all bilingual education pre-service teachers! And I expect that this is the first of many more books in this translingual format—felicitaciones! This volume pushes the reader to reconsider their preconceived ideas about language separation and mixing from a different stand-point. The authors of this anthology have a history of producing critical, relevant, and sophisticated work, which obviously will push the reader to think and do different work around the relationships between language, power, justice, and pedagogy. I was thrilled to write the endorsement for the book: I always had admired the pioneering work of the editors of the volume that break schemes of the academic taken-for-granted common-sense assumptions. This unique cutting-edge volume is commendable not only for its academic contributions BUT for the way in which Spanish and English interact in a dynamic and fluid way.” —Jaime Grinberg, Full Professor, Montclair State University
