It is common for scholarly and mainstream discourses on dual language education in the US to frame these programs as inherently socially transformative and to see their proliferation in recent years as a natural means of developing more anti-racist spaces in public schools. In contrast, this book adopts a raciolinguistic perspective that points to the contradictory role that these programs play in both reproducing and challenging racial hierarchies. The book includes 11 chapters that adopt a range of methodological techniques (qualitative, quantitative and textual), disciplinary perspectives (linguistics, sociology and anthropology) and language foci (Spanish, Hebrew and Korean) to examine the ways that dual language education programs in the US often reinforce the racial inequities that they purport to challenge.

American English for Spanish Native Speakers has taken a customized approach to ESL instruction. Instead of adopting a one size fits all, like most of the ESL text or instruction books, this book identifies, isolates and targets the specific areas of phonological and grammatical challenges that are unique to Spanish native speakers in their quest to acquire, and or master American English. Spanish native speakers are able to learn at a much faster rate with this book because the content only treats with the challenges and difficulties they experience in learning American English and provides guidance, explanation and practice exercises to help them overcome and master the identified linguistic problems. This book helps Spanish native speakers avoid having to deal with the useless and irrelevant challenges relative to French, Japanese, German, Indian etc native speakers which are not necessarily the same as the challenges of the Spanish Native Speakers. In addition, American English for Spanish Native Speakers identifies, explains and gives practical examples of some of the most high frequency American Idioms that are popularly used in every day written and spoken American English. They are listed in alphabetized form from A to Z for quick and easy reference.

With The Gringa Way method and the help of this book, you will be speaking Spanish easier than you ever thought possible.
