Literacy acquisition in school in the context of migration and multilingualism : a binational survey / Inken Sürig, Yazgül Şimşek, Christoph Schroeder, Anja Boness. - Amsterdam ; Philadelphia : John Benjamins Publishing Company, [2016] - xii, 297 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 25 cm. - Hamburg Studies on linguistic diversity, volume 5 2211-3703 ; .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 283-294) and index.
This book presents the outcomes of a multi-methodical investigation of the processes of literacy acquisition. The focus is on mono- and bilingual first- and seventh-graders in schools in socially underprivileged areas of two major cities in Turkey and Germany. By means of extensive analyses of lesson videos, linguistic tests, interviews and ethnographic research, social, cultural, linguistic, pedagogic and didactic differences on the international, national, local and individual level are aligned with the momentary problem of exercising a school lesson and acquiring literacy on a daily basis. The results contradict to some degree that cultural and linguistic differences actually make a huge difference in the organisation and process of literacy acquisition.
