      • The Teaching of Literature to Less Proficient Students

        by Radzuwan Ab Rashid, Shireena Basree Abdul Rahman, Hanita Hanim Ismail

        The integration of English literature in the English as a Second Language (ESL) classroom has long been viewed as fundamental in contributing to the overall improvement of students’ proficiency in English language. This book explores both the approaches used by teachers in teaching literature and students’ reaction towards the approaches employed. The main premise of this write-up focuses specifically on the experience of less proficient students with English literature and discussion of findings therefore, would be crucial to both policymakers and ESL practitioners.

        Twenty-first Century Learning by Doing

        by Meloy, J. M.

        Qualitative research has emerged from a twentieth century ‘paradigm war’ at the doctoral level to become a significant and real opportunity for undergraduate, masters’, and doctoral students at colleges and universities around the world. ESL researchers, first generation college students, and individuals identifying themselves as “quants” are discovering the capacity of their own thinking as they learn about and simultaneously undertake qualitative research for their theses. This book is the result of a general query; it is composed almost entirely of the thoughts, concerns, and wisdom of sixty-nine current and recently defended doctoral students across the process of learning about and choosing to do qualitative research for the dissertation. The correspondents’ thinking serves as a thoughtful companion to the process of learning by doing. This book is not a “how to” book. Rather it is a series of candid, thoughtful and insightful reflections re-presented in a variety of formats, e.g.. whole letters, “interviews”, etc. This is also not a book to read from beginning to end; readers can begin anywhere – with a particular correspondent, who is introduced at the beginning, or with a particular topic, using the tables of content or subject indices. Finally, this book is not a textbook providing readers with “correct answers” and “the” way to do things, although much of what the correspondents have to offer will keep learners new to qualitative research from having to ‘reinvent the wheel.’ Twenty-first Century Learning by Doing evidences the vulnerability and power of both the human heart and intellect as each grapples with complexities and ambiguities that epitomize the work learning and doing qualitative research is.

        Academic Achievers

        Whose Definition?: An Ethnographic Study Examining the Literacy [under] Development of English Language Learners in the Era of High-Stakes Tests

        by Orelus, P. W.

        It is ironic that our ever-present preoccupation with closing the achievement gap is insufficiently articulated in current federal education policy. To this end, Pierre Orelus' study cogently underscores the fruitfulness of caring teachers' persistence in bridging the all-too-frequent gulf that exists between school and community together with an apprenticeship model that saturates youth in academic discourses. This is an encouraging and inspiring read. Angela Valenzuela, College of Education, University of Texas at Austin, author of Subtractive Schooling and Leaving Children Behind. Orelus' book provides valuable insights into the resources, including teachers' teaching practices, students' level of motivation, their family values, and the students' academic background, that contribute to academic achievement for English language learners. The author's close examination of what enabled four middle school ELLs to succeed academically illustrates that even students who are labeled "at risk" can succeed with the right support. David Freeman, Ph.D. Professor of Reading and ESL Chair: Department of Language, Literacy, and Intercultural Studies The University of Texas at Brownsville Pierre Orelus draws on his personal experiences as an English-language learner to examine ELL's academic achievement and underachievement. Guadalupe Valdés, Ph.D. Bonnie Katz Tenenbaum Professor of Education Stanford University This book addresses one of the most pressing issues facing US education - how best to support the academic literacy of English Language Learners. Pierre Orelus looks closely at teaching practices that contribute to students' academic growth, and he adds to the mounting evidence of the negative impact of high stakes testing and accountability on teaching, especially for students who are learning English. This is a powerful call to reject the culturally and educationally reductive practices promoted by No Child Left Behind.
