Hi Carol,

It's in Vol. 18, No. 1. 

It was a bear for me to find it too. To save you the trouble, I'm
attaching a copy in .pdf format.

Thanks for the interest!

article--Against the Undertow: Language Minority Education Policy and
Politics in the "Age of Accountability"

 

It is possible to view the article for free on-line for a limited time

It is a bit of a cumbersome process, and requires a short registration

Against the Undertow: Language Minority Education Policy and Politics
in
the "Age of Accountability"

Abstract

 

This article reviews historical and contemporary policies, ideologies,
and educational prescriptions for language-minority students. It notes
language and literacy policies historically have been used as
instruments of social control and that racism and linguistic
intolerance
have often been closely linked with antecedents in the colonial and
early nationalistic periods as well as in nativists thought of the
19th
century. The article concludes that the contemporary English-only and
antibilingual education movements share features reminiscent of the
restrictionism of early periods. The article next assesses policies of
the federal and state governments in accommodating language-minority
students. Current debates over appropriate assessment of
language-minority students are backgrounded against the history of the
testing movement. Recent research on high-stakes testing is reviewed
with the conclusion that it is not improving the quality of teaching
and
learning and appears to be having a negative effect for
language-minority students.
