Scott, Jerrie Cobb, et al. Affirming students' right to their own language: bridging language policies and pedagogical practices. New
York: Routledge, 2009. Print.
Within the pages of 247-261, the author discusses how bilingualism is on the rise in the United States. After providing several facts and statistical data, he began to make the connection by revealing his thesis and the correlation between his introduction and the latter. Fu explains how the
United States political implementation of “English Only” in many social environments greatly effects non-native students. The author then specifically goes into details about the transition of a Chinese student primarily using their native first language to slowly adapting, and becoming more comfortable, with using English and the benefits of being a bilingual student overall. The summary that the author provides for this chapter of the book is not very detailed, so I provided a little more information to provide an overall summary of what is going on.
