Art as a Way of Talking for Emergent Bilingual Youth

"In this important new book, the contributors demonstrate why access to art must be central to the educational opportunities provided to emergent bilinguals, and they provide examples for how this is being done in schools and classrooms across the country. For educators, parents and community advocates, this book will be an invaluable resource and guide for how to use art to inspire and motivate some of our most neglected students."
--Pedro A. Noguera, University of California-Los Angeles, USA

Art as a Way of Listening

“What a novel but powerful and essential concept: that art is a way of listening. In this book— international in scope and wide- ranging in its understanding of the arts— the authors present inspiring portraits of using the arts to affirm languages that are suppressed or that may soon disappear unless they are reclaimed and revitalized. They remind us that if we just listen to our students, and work respectfully and collaboratively with their families and communities, then the education of all students— monolingual, bilingual, multilingual, and emergent— will inevitably be enriched.” 
— Sonia Nieto, Professor Emerita, University of Massachusetts, USA
