A essential tool for teachers.

This is a book designed to take teachers into the domains of linguists and anthropologists. A series of essays, this volume provides a compilation of information garnered by researchers in these fields. The realm of this reader examines how language is developed in children and changes over time, and how we use it to communicate and learn. The text is organized into three parts: Historical Perspectives and Landmark Studies, Talk in Schools, and Sociocultural and Personal Perspectives. This book is a must for teachers.
