Title: Book: Understanding the Language Classroom
Body: From http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?PID=296454 Understanding the Language Classroom Edited by Simon Gieve and Inés K. Miller Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan Summary: This edited volume problematizes prescription, efficiency, and technical solutions as orientations to classroom language learning. The ideas that have found most resonance in the contributors' attempts at understanding language classroom life are the inherent complexity and idiosyncrasy of classroom life, the central importance of the participants' own understandings, the relationship between classroom life and teachers' and students' lives, negotiation between teachers and learners, the relationship between the local and the global, and the 'quality' of classroom life. These themes are addressed in the contexts of language learning, adult literacy education and language teacher education.

Title: Book: Can Schools Save Indigenous Languages?
Body: From http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?PID=276573 Can Schools Save Indigenous Languages? Policy and Practice on Four Continents Edited by Nancy H. Hornberger Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan Summary: This book offers a close look at cases of indigenous language revitalization on four continents: M®°ori in Aotearoa, New Zealand, Sámi in the Nordic countries, Hñähñö in Mexico, and Indigenous languages in Latin America. Contributions by experts from each case are in turn discussed in international perspective by four counterpart experts. Starting from the premise that Indigenous language revitalization is worth doing, the focus here is on HOW to do it, and in particular, the role of schools in that endeavour. Schools alone are not enough to do the job, but in tandem with other social institutions, can be a strategic resource. Indigenous language revitalization is never only about language, but also about the identities and experiences of speakers and communities. The authors advocate for the rights of Indigenous peoples to exercise both voice and choice in determining their own Indigenous language revitalization and education processes.
