    • Work Of Language In Multicultural Classrooms : Talking Science, Writing Science, Paperback by Bruna, Katherine Richardson (EDT); Gomez, Kimberley (EDT), ISBN 0805864288, ISBN-13 9780805864281, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US

      Building on recent research into the ways that language and literacy practices interact with science teaching and learning to either facilitate or obstruct successful student outcomes, Bruna (multicultural and international curriculum studies, Iowa State U.) and Gomez' (literacy, language and culture, U. of Illinois, Chicago) text examines the intersection of language and science in the learning experience of ethnic- and linguistical-minority populations. Fourteen chapters by 37 academics and researchers--all but one from the the intersection of language, literacy, and science; how the cultural and linguistic resources children bring to science interact with their classroom learning; classroom practices that facilitate or otherwise influence science learner identities; and ways of encouraging cultural and linguistic responsiveness in pre- and in-service science teacher education.
