Abstract

This unique and timely book follows the experiences of four Arabic teenagers, their families and their community, focusing on the role of literacy in their daily lives and the differences between home and school. The author looks at the conflict between expectations and practices at school and in the home, arguing that problems are inevitable where class and cultural differences exist. Emerging themes include: how literacy practices in the community are undergoing rapid change due to global developments in technology how the patterns of written and spoken language in Eng and Arabic in the home are linked with social practices in logical and coherent ways how many of the family practices that differ from school culture and language become marginalised. Built around these insightful case studies yet grounded in theory, this book is of immediate relevance to teachers working in multicultural contexts and students and lecturers in language/literacy or on TESOL courses.

Abstract

"This is a down-to-earth report. It deals with matters of fact and its recommendations are specific. It will be of interest chiefly to those who are realistic enough to face the problems of education in American society as these problems now exist. Much of the argument over education today is coming from people who are not really interested in facing problems as they exist. They are interested in venting their prejudices or in beating one another about the ears with slogans and battle cries. If the reader belongs in this group, he will find little nourishment here. But if he is in the mood to roll up his sleeves and say "Precisely what can we do tomorrow morning to improve our schools?"--This is his book"--Foreword.
