Shadow Education in Literacy for Migrant Students Learning in English as an Additional Language in Australian Primary Schools
Free-to-read version at publisher website
Description
This chapter reports an investigation of the educational needs served by private tutoring in English for families whose children are learning English as an additional language (EAL) in Australian primary schools. Intensive qualitative analyses were conducted on interview data produced with three parents. The analyses looked in detail at the capital exchanges involved in private tutoring. They showed that tutoring was a means of parental involvement in their children’s academic work when direct transmission of parental cultural capital was not possible. The chapter discusses resonances between this use of tutoring in Australia as an ‘inner circle’ nation of English use and the use of tutoring in Hong Kong as an ‘outer circle nation’. It also discusses policy settings that are making the use of tutoring ‘thinkable’ for parents of EAL students in Australia.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
