Lärare och annan undervisande personal i grundskolan har ett stort antal utmaningar att hantera varje dag. Eleverna har många olika förmågor och behov som pedagogen ska tillgodose. Författarna till den här boken - Kennet Fröjd, Wendy Murawski och Jennifer Austin - har identifierat tio av lärarnas största upplevda utmaningar och erbjuder trettio konkreta evidensbaserade verktyg för att hantera dem. Boken börjar med att du får träffa eleverna: en grundskoleklass med elever som sannolikt i stort sett varenda lärare känner igen. I bokens första del beskrivs de tio utmaningarna med tre scenarier för var och en av dem. Till varje scenario ger författarna en konkret evidensbaserad lösning. Det betyder trettio konkreta verktyg för att ta tag i det som är svårast - att ta med direkt till klassen. I bokens andra del får du nio evidensbaserade lärstrategier som är användbara för att hantera mångfalden i klassen och hjälpa alla elever trivas, må bra och lyckas väl. Använd den eller de strategier som passar din skola och dina behov. Även du som pedagog ska må bra och prestera. Boken sista kapitel handlar därför om time management.

Bilingualism has given rise to significant changes in Spanish-speaking countries. In the US, the increasing importance of Spanish has engendered an English-only movement; in Peru, contact between Spanish and Quechua has brought about language change; and in Iberia, speakers of Basque, Galician and Catalan have made their languages a compulsory part of school curricula and local government. This book provides an introduction to bilingualism in the Spanish-speaking world, looking at topics such as language contact, bilingual societies, bilingualism in schools, code-switching, language transfer, the emergence of new varieties of Spanish, and language choice - and how all of these phenomena affect the linguistic and cognitive development of the speaker. Using examples and case studies drawn primarily from Spanish/English bilinguals in the US, Spanish/Quechua bilinguals in Peru and Spanish/Basque bilinguals in Spain, it provides diverse perspectives on the experience of being bilingual in distinct cultural, political and socioeconomic contexts.
