Book Description
This handbook for Iowa school districts was first published many years ago. Since that time, several significant sociopolitical and educational changes have occurred. For example, there has been an increase in the number of languages and cultures represented both in Iowa and in the political arenas of the nation. Immigrants and refugees from impoverished or war-torn homelands have come to this nation seeking the American Dream. Balances among minority group populations have shifted, and even greater shifts are likely in the future. In both society and educational institutions, a better understanding of the implications of the linguistic and cultural differences in learners who participate in available programs have been acquired. More than ever is known about language acquisition, cultural change, competencies, testing, affective states of the learner, and individual assessments. The changes in this handbook attempt to reflect these new understandings. The writers seek to give Iowa educators a picture of the unique needs of English language learners (ELLs) and to offer a guide for providing equal access to the quality education available in the state. The handbook will primarily benefit those responsible for designing and implementing programs in local school districts. This handbook is organized into the following chapters: (1) Legal and Educational Rationale; (2) Funding Sources; (3) Procedures; (4) Educational Programs; (5) Involving Parents and Community; and (6) Program Evaluation. The following are appended: (1) Bibliography of Language Tests for ELLs; (2) Enrollment Status Descriptors; (3) List of Resource Agencies, Centers, and Organizations; (4) Publishers of Bilingual/ESL/Multicultural/Multilingual Materials; (5) Print and Online Resource List; (6) Limited English Proficiency Laws and Rules; and (7) English Language Learners (ELL) District/Building Self-Study Guide. (Contains 3 tables, 1 chart, and 1 footnote.).

Book Description
It is common for scholarly and mainstream discourses on dual language education in the US to frame these programs as inherently socially transformative and to see their proliferation in recent years as a natural means of developing more anti-racist spaces in public schools. In contrast, this book adopts a raciolinguistic perspective that points to the contradictory role that these programs play in both reproducing and challenging racial hierarchies. The book includes 11 chapters that adopt a range of methodological techniques (qualitative, quantitative and textual), disciplinary perspectives (linguistics, sociology and anthropology) and language foci (Spanish, Hebrew and Korean) to examine the ways that dual language education programs in the US often reinforce the racial inequities that they purport to challenge.
