DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Population mobility is at an all-time high in human history. One result of this unprecedented movement of peoples around the world is that in many school systems monolingual and monocultural students are the exception rather than the rule, particularly in urban areas. This shift in demographic realities entails enormous challenges for educators and policy-makers. What do teachers need to know in order to teach effectively in linguistically and culturally diverse contexts? How long does it take second language learners to acquire proficiency in the language of school instruction? What are the differences between attaining conversational fluency in everyday contexts and developing proficiency in the language registers required for academic success? What adjustments do we need to make in curriculum, instruction and assessment to ensure that second-language learners understand what is being taught and are assessed in a fair and equitable manner? How long do we need to wait before including second-language learners in high-stakes national examinations and assessments? What role (if any) should be accorded students’ first language in the curriculum? Do bilingual education programs work well for poor children from minority-language backgrounds or should they be reserved only for middle-class children from the majority or dominant group? In addressing these issues, this volume focuses not only on issues of language learning and teaching but also highlights the ways in which power relations in the wider society affect patterns of teacher–student interaction in the classroom. Effective instruction will inevitably challenge patterns of coercive power relations in both school and society.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In this remarkable second book in the Children of Conflict series, Laurel Holliday presents a powerful collection of young people's memories of growing up in the midst of the violence in Northern Ireland known as "The Troubles." "All my life I have been afraid. When it would get dark I would lie in bed and be frightened to move in case men would be outside who were going to smash the doors in with a sledge hammer and then shoot whoever is in the house as they have done before." -- Bridie Murphy, age twelve More than sixty Catholic and Protestant children, teenagers, and adults chronicle their coming-of-age experiences in the war zone, from bomb-devastated Belfast to the terrorist-ridden countryside. "It was like my head exploded. It's an experience you can't really understand -- getting shot in the head -- unless it's happened to you. -- Stephen Robinson, wounded while walking home from secondary school For the first time in thirty years there is some hope for an end to the murders and bombings that have wounded more than 40,000. But the ravages of war remain indelibly etched on the minds and souls of the generation known as children of "The Troubles."

It all began with Lucifer¿s defiance and attempt to oust the Almighty King from His throne.Lucifer was evicted, along with the fallen angels, to the Kingdom of Earth. Realizing he wasn¿t going to be the king of Heaven, he set his objective to be king of Earth and stole the position from Adam through deceit. Satan rules this earthen Kingdom with the same measure of deception and your spiritual death is his desire, for it is the spirit person, born in Christ, that makes you a child of the Almighty King. We are all the target as he continuously attempts to derail us from the truth of our Most High God.The spiritual battle is presently and actively ongoing behind the scenes in your life, and unbeknownst, playing havoc in your daily affairs. Most often when matters in life are array, we have a tendency to fault our heavenly Father. However, it isn¿t God but Satan, the god of this earthen Kingdom, who rules with intent to steal, kill, and destroy. Understanding this spiritual battle will enable you to deflect and denounce his attempts to place obstacles in your life.Your stronghold in this spiritual battle is to put on the armor of God with His hedge of protection and be enveloped in your Father¿s arms. Be guarded and protected by the One who gives you life, loves you, desires for you to be His child, and who will give you eternity in His Kingdom. With your gift of a free will, choose the Almighty King of the Kingdom of Heaven and be released from the entrapments of this earthen ruler, so that you will no longer be a child caught in the crossfire.
