Funding for the project was provided to the Center for Applied Linguistics and SRI International by the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences and the Office of English Language Acquisition, with additional funding from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development provided through the U.S.CD-ROM providing a searchable database of research references. The audiences for this volume include researchers interested in the development of literacy in language-minority children and youth as well as those studying literacy more generally, and those concerned with improving the education of this population of students."

"ABSTRACTThe Arabic Language has a long history as living and spoken language. It also occupies a wide geographical area and has acquired the position of a communicational language and international language, as well as a language for religion (Islam) and for science - specially during the medieval ages. There is a well-known phenomenon in Arabic which is having more than one level: standard and colloquial. This is what can be called as Diglossia. Because of diglossia, speakers have to choose the language level to use according to situation and the speech-act. This may cause some difficulty, if not contradiction when adopting guidelines for teaching/learning Arabic. The target of this paper is to review different Arabic language textbooks - currently in use - trying to find out how they deal with contradiction."
