>I will be teaching a course on language, culture and education this
>fall. The students will be undergraduates from all different majors.
>The class will have about 25 students and there won't be much lecture,
>mostly small group work and whole-class discussions. The students will
>also be spending some time during the semester doing participant
>observation in a variety of settings in the community, places
>where learning occurs in semi-formal or non-formal settings (job
>training, Little League, community centers, Fifth Dimension, Head
>Start, etc...).
>
>I am having trouble finding a text, of course. My ideal text (or two)
>would draw from anthropology, linguistics, cross-cultural psychology,
>sociohistorical psychology and education, presenting some of the seminal
>research done in each of these areas at a very basic level. Our students
>tend to be concrete thinkers and tend NOT to do much reading , even if
>you test them on it.
>
>Suggestions?? I would appreciate ANY ideas, even it you are
>sure I have already thought of it.

>Thanks,
