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

Rebuilding America's Cities

Rebuilding America's Cities

A growing cooperation between the public and private sectors indicates that the tasks of redevelopment are too large and complex for either sector to accomplish alone. Some people maintain that government can do few things right; others are equally distrustful of the private sector. As used here the private sector is considered to be all that is not government. Each of the success stories illustrated is in part a road to recovery although none appear to have been influenced by a purpose that broad. Paul R. Porter and David C. Sweet present stories of progress in self-reliance that concern neighborhood and downtown recoveries school improvement job generation a regained fiscal solvency novel financing techniques helping tenants to become homeowners and a successful venture in self-help and tenant management in crime-infested neighborhoods. The successes stem from the diverse community roles of Yale University a medical center the world's largest research organization the Clorox Company a gas company an insurance company a newspaper neighborhood and downtown organizations city governments and two religious organizations - the Mormon Church and the tiny Church of the Savior. These stories are located throughout the United States including Akron Baltimore Brooklyn Cincinnati Cleveland Columbus Fort Wayne Indianapolis Milwaukee New Haven Oakland Pittsburgh St. Louis St. Paul Salt Lake City Springfield Mass. Tampa and Washington D. C. The editors have gathered the work of professionals known in the field of urban studies: James W. Rouse Donald E. Lasater Rolf Goetze Dale F. Bertsch Joel Lieske Eugene H. Methvin James E. Kunde T. Michael Smith Robert Mier Carol Davidow Jay Chatterjee June Manning Thomas Norman Krumholz Larry C. Ledebur and Robert C. Holland. | Rebuilding America's Cities
