Yet far from a straightforward attempt to be free of Old World laws and customs, the American founding was also a bid for inclusion in the community of nations as it existed in 1776. America aspired to diplomatic recognition under international law and the authority to become a colonizing power itself. As Eliga Gould shows in this reappraisal of American history, the Revolution was an international transformation of the first importance. To conform to the public law of Europe's imperial powers, Americans crafted a union nearly as centralized as the one they had overthrown, endured taxes heavier than any they had faced as British colonists, and remained entangled with European Atlantic empires long after the Revolution ended. No factor weighed more heavily on Americans than the legally plural Atlantic where they hoped to build their empire. Gould follows the region's transfiguration from a fluid periphery with its own rules and norms to a place where people of all descriptions were expected to abide by the laws of Western Europe-"civilized" laws that precluded neither slavery nor the dispossession of Native Americans. 606 $aInternational relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1775-1783 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1783-1815 607 $aUnited States$xInternational status$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yRevolution, 1775-1783$xInfluence 607 $aUnited States$xTerritorial expansion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInternational relations 676 $a973.3/2 700 $aGould$b Eliga H$0891108 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465738403321 996 $aAmong the powers of the earth$92458570 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03992nam 22006375 450 001 9910337712903321 005 20240326131404.0 010 $a9783030049874 010 $a3030049876 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-04987-4 035 $a(CKB)4100000007463616 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5637227 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-04987-4 035 $a(Perlego)3482818 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000007463616 100 $a20190116d2019 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aChinese Literacy Learning in an Immersion Program /$fby Chan Lü 205 $a1st ed. 2019. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2019. 215 $a1 online resource (263 pages) 311 08$a9783030049867 311 08$a3030049868 327 $aChapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: One-way Immersion and Mandarin Immersion in the United States -- Chapter 3: Theoretical framework, literature review, and the current project -- Chapter 4: Pacific Elementary School -- Chapter 5: Chinese language, orthography, and learning to read -- Chapter 6: Properties of School Chinese -- Chapter 7: Oral language, phonological awareness, word reading and passage reading comprehension in Grade 2 -- Chapter 8: Morphological awareness, vocabulary knowledge, lexical inference and text comprehension in Chinese in Grade 3 -- Chapter 9: Implications for Chinese literacy learning and instruction in Chinese OWI programs: A proposal -- Chapter 10: Recommendation for program-level practices and future research agenda. 330 $aThis book examines one-way foreign language immersion education in the United States. It provides a clear and rich description of a Chinese (Mandarin) immersion program, its curriculum, instructional materials, assessment activities, parental involvement and student outcomes. The author analyses two studies that document the development of the students' reading skills in English and Chinese, and the progress of their vocabulary knowledge, lexical inference, and reading comprehension in Chinese. In addition, this book contextualizes the program in its eco-system, including its neighbourhood, school, and the school district, and discusses the importance of school leadership, parental involvement, neighbourhood support and language acquisition planning in making an innovative school program successful. Its concluding chapters offer recommendations for program- and classroom-level practices and suggest pathways for future research on biliteracy learning in Chinese one-way immersion programs. This book will appeal in particular to students and scholars of applied linguistics, second language acquisition and language education.
