Exploring language, culture and education among immigrants in the united states, this volume discusses the range of experiences in raising children with more than one language in major ethno-linguistic groups in new york. Research and practice from the fields of speech-language pathology, bilingual education, and public health in immigrant families are brought together to provide guidance for speech-language pathologists in differentiating language disorders from language variation, and for parents on how to raise their children with more than one language. Commonalities among dissimilar groups, such as chinese, korean, and hispanic immigrants are analyzed, as well as the language needs of arab-americans, the home literacy practices of immigrant parents who speak mixteco and spanish, and the crucial role of teachers in bridging immigrants' classroom and home contexts.
