She then discusses five different ways that students can explore grammar through communicative use of authentic texts: incidental, focused, enriching, recycled, and reinforcing.

Title: Book: Connecting School and the Multilingual Home
Body:
From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?k=9781788923255
Connecting School and the Multilingual Home: Theory and Practice for Rural Educators
By Maria R. Coady
Published by Multilingual Matters
This book examines the educational gaps that multilingual students in rural communities experience. It argues that responsive, successful relationships between schools and multilingual families are a crucial aspect of all educators’ work and that no single strategy will work for all families. Rural multilingual family engagement involves building meaningful partnerships and relational trust, based on significant knowledge of families' cultures and language repertoires. Educators can reframe their work by learning from families and building on the strengths of multilingual families, which are too-often overlooked in school policies and educator practices. This is the first book to focus specifically on rural school settings. However, the conceptual framework of equity and linguistically responsive pedagogy are applicable across settings for educators who wish to support their multilingual students and families.
