The Routledge Handbook of Heritage Language Education From Innovation to Program Building

The Routledge Handbook of Heritage Language Education From Innovation to Program Building

The Routledge Handbook of Heritage Language Education provides the rapidly growing and globalizing field of heritage language (HL) education with a cohesive overview of HL programs and practices relating to language maintenance and development setting the stage for future work in the field. Driving this effort is the belief that if research and pedagogical advances in the HL field are to have the greatest impact HL programs need to become firmly rooted in educational systems. Against a background of cultural and linguistic diversity that characterizes the twenty-first century the volume outlines key issues in the design and implementation of HL programs across a range of educational sectors institutional settings sociolinguistic conditions and geographical locations specifically: North and Latin America Europe Israel Australia New Zealand Japan and Cambodia. All levels of schooling are included as the teaching of the following languages are discussed: Albanian Arabic Armenian (Eastern and Western) Bengali Brazilian Portuguese Chinese Czech French Hindi-Urdu Japanese Khmer Korean Pasifika languages Persian Russian Spanish Turkish Vietnamese and Yiddish. These discussions contribute to the development and establishment of HL instructional paradigms through the experiences of “actors on the ground” as they respond to local conditions instantiate current research and pedagogical findings and seek solutions that are workable from an organizational standpoint. The Routledge Handbook of Heritage Language Education is an ideal resource for researchers and graduate students interested in heritage language education at home or abroad. | The Routledge Handbook of Heritage Language Education From Innovation to Program Building

Kohler A Political Biography of Walter J

Kohler A Political Biography of Walter J

McCarthy and Eisenhower Nelson Lucey and Proxmire-they were all giants of state and national politics in the 1950s. Yet the period also produced Walter J. Kohler Jr. a three-term governor who in the words of the Milwaukee Journal was the most dominant force in Wisconsin politics of his era. In this highly readable biography personalities and events of the 1950s are discussed as are some of the issues that still divide contemporary Democrats and Republicans in the twenty-first century. Walter Kohler was one of two men to gather 1 million votes for governor in Wisconsin through the end of the twentieth century. He is credited with helping create the Eisenhower presidency both by his support in Wisconsin's critical presidential primary and by organizing the nation's Republican governors to endorse Ike in the run-up to the 1952 GOP Convention. He signed the largest income tax cut in percentage-rate terms at any level of government between Coolidge and Kennedy. He fought for a vast expansion of Wisconsin's highway system and in 1952 launched what became a national crusade for traffic safety. He paved the way for coordination of Wisconsin's now-unified university system; took the battle for civil rights to Wisconsin's shipping hotel manufacturing and other industries and became the first governor in two decades to fulfill his constitutional duty to enact a reapportionment of the state legislature. Fossedal also captures Kohler as political anti-hero. In an age when Americans long for self-governance by our political and corporate officials Kohler's integrity as a man may be as arresting as his acts as governor. | Kohler A Political Biography of Walter J
