Teaching Writing to Children in Indigenous Languages

<p>This volume brings together studies of instructional writing practices and the products of those practices from diverse Indigenous languages and cultures. By analyzing a rich diversity of contexts—Finland Ghana Hawaii Mexico Papua New Guinea and more—through biliteracy complexity and genre theories this book explores and demonstrates critical components of writing pedagogy and development. Because the volume focuses on Indigenous languages it questions center-margin perspectives on schooling and national language ideologies which often limit the number of Indigenous languages taught the domains of study and the age groups included.</p>
