Sinopse

Bilingual Education explores the multifaceted nature of learning and using multiple languages, focusing on the cognitive, social, and educational aspects of multilingual environments. It examines how bilingualism shapes cognitive development and offers insights into optimizing learning outcomes in an increasingly globalized world. The book highlights the cognitive benefits associated with bilingualism, such as enhanced executive function and problem-solving skills, challenging the notion that learning multiple languages might be a hindrance. It also addresses the sociocultural impacts of multilingualism on learning, advocating for inclusive educational practices. This academic yet accessible work is structured into three main sections.

It begins by introducing core concepts and models of bilingual education, then delves into the cognitive effects of bilingualism, presenting evidence from neuroimaging studies and empirical research. The final section focuses on practical applications and pedagogical strategies, examining effective teaching methods and addressing the challenges of language assessment. The book draws from diverse data sources, including longitudinal studies and qualitative research, to provide a comprehensive, evidence-based guide.

The book uniquely bridges cognitive neuroscience findings with practical pedagogical strategies. It aims to inform educators, policymakers, and parents about the implementation of effective bilingual education programs. By synthesizing research from psychology, linguistics, sociology, and education, Bilingual Education provides a holistic understanding of bilingualism, addressing ongoing debates and presenting balanced perspectives on controversial issues within the field.

Michael Savage

Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder- 
Michael Savage has the cure. 
With grit, guts, and gusto, talk radio sensation Michael Savage leaves no political turn unstoned as he savages today's most rabid liberalism. In this paperback edition of his third New York Times bestseller, Savage strikes at the root of today's most pressing issues, including: 
Homeland security: "We need more Patton and less patent leather . . . Real homeland security begins when we arrest, interrogate, jail, or deport known operatives within our own borders . . . One dirty bomb can ruin your whole day." 
Illegal immigration: "I envision an Oil for Illegals program . . . The president should demand one barrel of oil from Mexico for every illegal that sneaks into our country." 
Lawsuit abuse: "Lawyers are like red wine. Everything in moderation. Today we have far too many lawyers, and we're suffering from cirrhosis of the economy." 
"Pure Savage. Very effective, very timely, very hot." American Compass Book Club

The Plainsman: A Story of Wild...

Frank Jenners Wilstach

"In the following pages I have endeavoured to give the reader a plain, honest, homespun account of my state in life, and some few of the difficulties which have attended me along its journey, down to this time. I am perfectly aware, that I have related many small and, as I fear, uninteresting circumstances; but if so, my apology is, that it was rendered necessary by a desire to link the different periods of my life together, as they have passed, from my childhood onward, and thereby to enable the reader to select such parts of it as he may relish most, if, indeed, there is any thing in it which may suit his palate."

The Last Day Before Exile -...

Selin Bucak

When we hear news stories about displaced people, people running away from war, living in exile, they're always accompanied by big numbers, presented as waves of immigrants. The Last Day Before Exile re-focuses the narrative to the human side, sharing some of the hardest moments of their lives, where they had to make the decision to stay or go.

Tracing the steps of professionals who have moved from the Gaza Strip, Pakistan, Morocco, Iran, Afghanistan Turkey, and Ukraine, Selin Bucak shares stories of rebellion, fear, and, in some cases, victory.

To truly understand what immigrants often have to go through at the hands of governments, legislation, and war, we need to put ourselves into the shoes of the people living in exile.

Samoan Crisis The: The History...

Editors Charles River

Samoa is a group of about 20 islands in the South Pacific Ocean, totaling slightly over 1,100 square miles, about a fifth the size of Hawai’i. The ancestors of the Samoans arrived there many centuries ago. Archaeological artifacts suggest Polynesians arrived perhaps three thousand years before the present, or perhaps even earlier (O’Connor, 2017).
Samoans remained part of an isolated Pacific Ocean region for a very long time, with trade and social links with the people of the Fiji and Tonga islands. That inter-island world was not “discovered” by European explorers until 1722, when a Dutch ship, captained by Joseph Roggeveen, visited. The next European view of the Samoan islands was in 1778 by a French expedition, commanded by Louis-Antoine de Bougainville. A later French expedition under La Perouse found the islands far from congenial; a fight erupted and the French lost 12 men (O’Connor, 2017).
The pace of contact with the outside world quickened by the end of the 1700s. Explorers visited, naval expeditions checked out Samoa and other islands, a few European beachcombers arrived, and so did missionaries. Samoa, like many other Pacific Island groups, attracted outside interest for several reasons. Missionaries found souls to save. Whaling ships found places to resupply themselves with food, water, sometimes crew, and for rest and recreation. As navies converted to steam, islands became useful as coaling stations, and as the Industrial Revolution spread, islands offered raw materials and goods for potential profit. The Pacific Islands also became pawns in what is best described as a global imperial competition.
