Literacy and Language Diversity in the United States

The U.S. population is diverse. With nearly 20% of children and adults in the United States speaking a native language other than English, the need for information about language and literacy skills has never been greater. In this revised edition of Literacy and Language Diversity in the United States (first published in 1996), the author takes a fresh look at the issues related to the differences between the literacy performance and educational achievement of language minorities and native speakers of English in this country and the social and educational policy debates that surround literacy in the 21st century.Wiley, Terrence G. is the author of 'Literacy and Language Diversity in the United States', published 2005 under ISBN 9781887744881 and ISBN 1887744886.
