"Oral language-the ability to communicate needs, feelings
and opinions via verbal speech-is the coin-of-the-realm in
today's society. One must be able to interact verbally with
others and an inability to do so, can greatly hamper a
child's development and independence.
For most children, oral language develops quite naturally.
As the child's vocabulary and syntax emerges, he becomes
better able to communicate with others and gains control of
his environment. A child's failure to develop normal verbal
language can create great angst for his parents and
caregivers.
When a parent has concerns about the child's language
development, she often turns to family members or neighbors
for 'expert' advice. The counsel that is provided generally
ranges from unwarranted panic to laissez-faire advice that
the child 'will grow out of it.' Neither of these reactions
is particularly helpful or effective.
However, The Late Talker by Agin, Geng and Nicholl provides
useful, field tested advice for parents who are concerned
about their child's language development. This gem of a
book provides an immensely readable overview of normal
language development and a thorough review of the cause of
language delays and disabilities. The material offers
comfort and counsel for the anxious parents.
The great strength of The Late Talker is its
transdisciplinary approach to the topic. Dr. Agin offers a
thoughtful medical perspective on the problem and
translates the related research into understandable and
useful terms. Co-author Lisa Geng provides an invaluable
parental perspective on the issue by discussing the
emotional reactions of the family to the child with delayed
speech.
The Late Talker provides an unparalleled overview of a
problem faced by families throughout America . But beyond
merely defining the problems, the book offers practical
advice and strategies that the reader can put into
action . . . today. This book belongs in every
pediatrician's office and in the bookshelf of every early
childhood center in the country."

I am interested in wages for Spanish teachers in Montana.
What areas pay the best? What are the chances of getting a
job there? Are there a lot of openings? I would be
interested even in a long term substitute job. Thanks for
any information.

Selective mutism is a complex psychological disorder caused
by anxiety. It is genetically related and average onset is
3.7 years of age. Generally, selective mutism is called
shyness for several years until a child enters school and
does not function verbally in school and most social
situations outside of school. Parents and teachers become
very concerned and seek further assistance and diagnosis.
These children have the ability to speak and understand
language, develop age appropriate skills, and function
normally at home with most family members and are,
therefore, often misdiagnosed. If this nonverbal behavior
outside of the home lasts for a period of time, it becomes
a learned pattern and is quite difficult to overcome,
because the longer a child is silent, the more entrenched
the behavior becomes.
Most school personnel do not have the expertise or
experience to deal with a child having this disorder which
is caused by anxiety and avoidance. This disability has
received more attention in the past few years and
therefore, the numbers of children identified who are
suffering with the disorder have risen sharply.
School interventions have proven to be quite difficult
partially due to teacher and administrator lack of
knowledge and materials, fear, and inexperience.
Selectively mute children quickly learn to use avoidance
techniques, as do their teachers, and to use the school
environment to accommodate this debilitating condition.
Thus, nonsupportive schools who avoid an appropriate
intervention begin to do unjust harm to these children.
It is evident that teachers who discover a selectively mute
child in their classroom do want to help. However, it
appears, they have a very difficult time finding research
based strategies and a format that can be used in a
sequential order within the school setting. Current
research and materials are becoming more available.
I hope that I have given you some needed information so
that these children do not continue to suffer in silence.

I have some questions regarding ESL students and teachers,
and would like to do a survey to find out these answers.
If anyone would please answer these, and give any
additional information, that would be very helpful. Thank
you.
Questions for teachers to consider:
1. Are you aware that there is an ESL policy?
2. Should full inclusion be accepted with ESL
students, or should teachers not include them to risk
embarrassing them?
3. If an ESL student doesn’t respond to me, should I
just let them be?
4. What takes precedence in a student’s learning: The
English language, or the material being taught?
5. Is it that important to involve parents in the
child’s learning process, and if so, how would I go about
doing that?
6. Shoule I mix ESL students with other students, or
leave them to be with other ESL students?
7. How often do you encounter ESL students in your
classrooms?
8. How do you think the ESL program is progressing in
your particular school?

Dear Educators,
Greetings from Costa Rica. I would like to announce a
course for
teachers for this coming summer in Costa Rica.
Proyecto Campanario, the Institute for Central American
Studies, and
Lewis and Clark College have teamed up to offer an
intense "Habitats and
Culture of Costa Rica" course for academic or
professional development
credit for teachers. The hands-on course is an
environmental overview of
present day Costa Rica that emphasizes the natural
history of its
diverse landscapes as well as the language and customs of
the people.
Teachers will journey across Costa Ricas extraordinary
geography: from
coral lagoon to once-glaciated peaks of volcanic rock,
experiencing
cloud forests, lowland rainforests, and mangrove swamps.
This is a
rather intense "field trip".
You may read more about the course on our web site and/or
write to us
for a complete course descriptions and registration form.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Nancy Aitken
