Summary

Mathematics classrooms are increasingly multilingual, whether they are found in linguistically diverse societies, urban melting pots or planned bilingual programs. The chapters in this book present and discuss examples of mathematics classroom life from a range of multilingual classroom settings, and use these examples to draw out and discuss key issues for the teaching and learning of mathematics and language. These issues relate to pedagogy, students’ learning, curriculum, assessment, policy and aspects of educational theory. The contributions are based on research conducted in mathematics classrooms in Europe, South Asia, North America and Australia. Recurring issues for the learning of mathematics include the relationship between language and mathematics, the relationship between formal and informal mathematical language, and the relationship between students’ home languages and the official language of schooling.

    Learn Conversational Spanish Vol. 2 is an audio course for beginners or for anyone who struggles with becoming fluent in Spanish. The focus of this course is to practice speaking conversational Spanish from the very first lesson. Each lesson contains useful everyday phrases related to a specific topic. 
    In these lessons, you’ll be introduced to several “conversation connectors”. Phrases like “as a matter of fact”, “frankly speaking”, “as you already know” and more. By using such phrases, your conversations will have a more natural flow. You will also expand your vocabulary and talk about daily activities, work, plans, and needs. 
    Based on techniques and strategies that make language learners succeed: 
    Learn in short bursts every day. Each lesson takes about 10 minutes to complete. 
    Learn in context. Isolated words or random sentences won’t get you far. By learning phrases related to a specific topic or situation you will see much better results. 
    Focus on high-frequency words. Starting with the most frequently used words will boost your comprehension and communication in your target language. 
    Review the material. Repeating the phrases at certain specified intervals is a powerful technique to help your memory absorb and recall what you have learned. 
    Listen to native speakers. All the phrases are translated and spoken by native speakers.
