Hmong and American
Author: Sue Murphy MotePublisher: McFarland
ISBN: 078641832X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
The Hmong were driven out of Laos by the turmoil of the Vietnam War and settled in America in such large numbers that they are now the second largest Southeast Asian population in the United States. Twelve Hmong immigrants, including a female shaman, an ex-military officer, a reformed gang member, a doctor, and a woman who was snatched from her mountain village at the age of eight, deposited in Laos's French culture and finally returned to Laos years later, tell their stories of struggling with American life while preserving the values of their own ancient culture. The author also considers the 5,000 years of Hmong history and its lasting influence.

This teacher's guide contains suggestions and lessons for teaching reading and writing to North American adults learning English as a second language.

The guide contains six chapters. The first chapter explains the role of the tutor and provides tutoring hints, while chapter 2 provides background information on the English language. In chapters 3 and 4, the tutor is taken step-by-step through the processes of teaching and writing a lesson, while chapter 5 contains 25 lesson outlines. These outlines cover teaching everyday living skills including foods, telling time, money, shopping, cooking, calendars, families, measuring, maps, transportation, asking questions, using the telephone, household items, mail, describing people, personal health, clothing, jobs, checks and money orders, housing, paying bills, and the seasons. Drills and exercises are included in the lessons. The final chapter of the guide contains 50 lessons on pronunciation of the sounds of English. Appendixes to the guide provide a lesson plan worksheet and a bibliography. (This teaching guide is designed to be used with the student Emergency English Workbook.) (KC)

Language endangerment is a fundamental issue for humanity. What rights do minority communities have concerning their languages? How does each language conceptualize the world differently? How much knowledge about the world and a local ecosystem is lost when a language disappears? What is the process involved and how can insights about this process contribute to linguistic theory? What typological insights will be lost if undescribed languages disappear before their unique structural properties are known? How can language shift be stopped or reversed? This volume comprises: * a general overview introduction * four theoretical chapters on what happens during language shift * ten case studies of autochthonous languages under threat * four case studies of migrant languages at risk * three concluding chapters discussing strategies and resources for language maintenance.
