Drawing on the author's observations, interactions, and interviews with second-generation immigrant children, their families, and their teachers in the United States and South Korea, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of how these children engage in language, literacy, and learning across different spaces and countries. It highlights the unique linguistic and cultural knowledge that immigrant children build, expand, and mobilize as they navigate different contexts, and explores the ways in which they position themselves and represent their identities. The book features childrens narratives, drawings, writings, maps, and photographs, making it a must-read for educators and researchers seeking to create more inclusive learning spaces and literacy practices. It includes examples of students' literacy practices, practical lessons gleaned from children's engagement with language and literacy in flexible and dynamic ways, targeted suggestions to help educators better understand and utilize childrens unique linguistic abilities and cultural understandings, discussion questions and examples that challenge deficit perspectives of immigrant children and reposition them as multilingual and transnational experts, and implications for educators and researchers seeking ways to amplify young immigrant childrens voices and leverage their knowledge. By embracing the diversity of these students and providing them with the tools they need to succeed, educators can create a more equitable and inclusive learning environment that promotes language learning, literacy development, and cultural understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780807766606\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jungmin Kwon,Catherine Compton-Lilly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096768180474,"sku":"9780807766606","price":33.32,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1651843491885_book.jpg?v=1652081271","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/understanding-the-transnational-lives-and-literacies-of-immigrant-children-9780807766606","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
