This original book offers a meaningful window into the lived experiences of children from immigrant families, providing a holistic, profound portrait of their literacy practices as situated within social, cultural, and political frames. Drawing on reports from five years of an ongoing longitudinal research project involving students from immigrant families across their elementary school years, each chapter explores a unique set of questions about the students’ experiences and offers a rich data set of observations, interviews, and student-created artifacts. Authors apply different sociocultural, sociomaterial, and sociopolitical frameworks to better understand the dimensions of the children’s experiences. The multitude of approaches applied demonstrates how viewing the same data through distinct lenses is a powerful way to uncover the differences and comparative uses of these theories. Through such varied lenses, it becomes apparent how the complexities of lived experiences inform and improve our understanding of teaching and learning, and how our understanding of multifaceted literacy practices affects students’ social worlds and identities. Children in Immigrant Families Becoming Literate is a much-needed resource for scholars, professors, researchers, and graduate students in language and literacy education, English education, and teacher education.

Die Studien untersuchen ausgehend von der Musikanschauung Carl Philipp Emanuel Bachs, wie sich diese formal, harmonisch und inhaltlich in seinen kirchenmusikalischen Vokalwerken vermittelt, welchen Einfluss sie auf seinen Stil und die Modernitat seiner Musiksprache hat und wie intensiv sie auch nachfolgende Epochen pragt. Die von Bach zur Instrumentalmusik dargelegten Ansichten zu Figuration, Harmonik, Vortrag und Wirkung fuhren auch in der kirchlichen Vokalmusik zu einer neuen ausdrucksstarken, gleichermassen den Geist des Sturm und Drang wie der Empfindsamkeit atmenden Musiksprache. Ausgehend von dem musikgeschichtlichen Hintergrund wird mittels der Analyse exemplarisch ausgewahlter Werke aufgezeigt, wie Bachs Musikanschauung Form und Harmonik durchdringt. Dabei werden Unterschiede und Besonderheiten der verschiedensten Gattungen vom Oratorium uber Passionsmusiken herausgearbeitet und Bachs Neuerungen thematisiert. Auf den Erkenntnissen aufbauend werden im Ausblick Auffuhrungspraxis und Musikpflege diskutiert, die schon auf die Wiener Klassiker hindeuten und diese entscheidend beeinflussen. So wird am Beispiel der Kirchenmusik Carl Philipp Emanuel Bachs deutlich, wie sich musikalisch die Brucke zwischen Barock und der Wiener Klassik spannt. Seine Musik erweist sich hierin als entscheidendes Bindeglied.
