[Harold Schiffman]

Implementing Educational Language Policy in Arizona Legal, Historical
and Current Practices in SEI
	

In this volume, scholars and researchers present their latest findings
and concerns regarding the impact of Arizona’s restrictive language
policy on critical areas for English learners and diverse students,
with an emphasis on how the policy influences teacher preparation and
classroom practice. The publication focuses on the decade-long
implementation of Structured English Immersion (SEI) in Arizona, which
mandates that English be the primary language of instruction with
English learners. The book provides a unique contribution to the study
of language policy and education for English language learners. With
solid evidence carefully linked to theory, the contributors address a
wide range of issues with recommendations for approaches that promote
expansive language education policies that build on the home languages
of all students.

The publication includes a foreword by CAL President Terrence Wiley
and a chapter by CAL staff member Sarah Catherine K. Moore (“SEI as
Policy Into Practice”).

Policymakers, educational administrators, teachers, parents, voters,
legislators, judges, lawyers, and anyone concerned about the education
of bilingual students should read this book to understand the negative
impact of restrictive language policies and learn more about how we
can craft language policies that support all learners. 2012
