Asian-American Literature: compiled by Brenda Hoffman. Introduction Rationale for Multiethnic Literature in the Classroom Characteristics of Good Multiethnic Literature History of Asian American Literature ... Movies Introduction Asian American literature is a growing new field. It is considered one of the subdivisions of multicultural literature. The literature today like the Joy Luck Club are best sellers in the book market and there is a growing demand for more. The Asian population of the United States today continues to rapidly increase and they constitute about 2.9% of the total American population. According the 1990 census, the largest Asian minority in the United States are the Chinese Asian population. Of that percentage, Chinese is the largest with a largest percentage being foreign born. The second largest group is the Filipino which constitute 19%. Japanese make up 12% with most of them being native born. Indian and Korean each are at 11% and Vietnamese make up 8% of the population. Another subgroup of Asians includes the Hmong (mung) which are a culture group that immigrated 5,000 years ago from China to the mountainous region of Laos, but many were forced out of their territory during the Vietnam War because they helped the United States during the conflict. [Back to Top] Rationale for Using Multiethnic Literature in the Classroom The purpose of using multiethnic literature are as follows: . So they can understand differences between cultures. Fiction books can be multi cultural, cross-cultural, or parallel-culture. Developing a relationship through a fictionalized character could be transferred to different culture.

Teachers are able to effectively train students in any subject, with print textbooks, Internet resources, and interactive technology. Cultural studies were defined in 1871 by British anthropologist Edward B. Taylor. Many multicultural classrooms exist in the public schools today and teachers are often caught in the flux, trying to work with several cultures at one time. Many guides and resources exist which will facilitate learning for the teachers as they work through these complex situations. Different cultures respond differently to varying forms of education and they can work effectively to find the most appropriate cultural approach to a solution. The links herein deal specifically with social and cultural studies.

Lynn Hayes and Barbara Luetke-Stahlman P. Lynn Hayes, PhD, earned her doctorate from the University of Pittsburgh and is an associate professor in the teacher training program in deaf education at the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS. Barbara Leutke-Stahlman, PhD, is professor and director of deaf education in the department of hearing and speech at the University of Kansas, Kansas City, KS. A s the percentage of students from racial and ethnic and cultural minorities increases in school classrooms, more materials have become available to answer teachers' concerns. Teachers of deaf and hard of hearing children who are members of ethnic minorities would like to know how to help these children develop self-esteemat least if the results of a Midwestern survey can be generalized. The survey was sent to 64 teachers in schools and programs in two Midwestern states. In the surveys, teachers were asked to rank the importance of various kinds of knowledge in working with students from ethnic minorities. Although all factors in the survey were ranked important, knowledge of ways to help minority students develop self-esteem ranked most important, earning a 1.45 on a 1 to 5 scale. In second place, teachers ranked the need for knowledge of ways to involve parents of deaf minority students in the educational process (1.48). Thirdly, they wanted knowledge to be able to assess the speech and language of their minority students (1.68) and knowledge of linguistic diversity (1.69).

20. Rethinking Schools -- "Trivial Pursuit" Testing For Teachers -- Volume 13, No. 2 required to become social studies teachers in Massachusetts. Graduate College ofEducation, and asianamerican Studies, at Who We Are Web resources 1001 E http://www.rethinkingschools.org/Archives/13_02/matest.htm

Volume 13, No. 2 - Winter 1998/99 Winter 1998/99 In an endeavor to comply with state teacher certification policy, I took the Oct. 3 Massachusetts Teacher Test, but found both the content and process of the test to be distressingly arbitrary. The above three italicized words were among those that test-takers had to define in the most recent Teacher Test. The sentence reflects my own understanding of how to use them appropriately. As a professor of teacher education and Asian-American Studies, I chose to take the four-hour Communication and Literacy Skills Test and the four-hour Social Studies Test (with a 20-minute lunch break) in order to understand directly what our students are being asked to know and do. Like others, I was struck by the rigid, disrespectful conditions of the test process itself. In the afternoon, for example, I was reprimanded initially by the test monitor for not having a more legible signature on my photo identification card, and then more sternly for taking a sip of water. To go to the bathroom, I was told to raise my hand and wait for the test monitor to grant permission because only one of us could leave the testing room at any given time. Then, on my way to the bathroom and back, I noticed three different hall monitors, seated in strategic locations, each doing their duty to check if I had the yellow bathroom permission pass. Had the state somehow confused reform school for education reform, I wondered. Incoherent Questioning The test content, particularly in social studies, also challenged me. As I followed the questions in order, the content jumped literally from the 1780 Massachusetts state constitution to contemporary trade relations of Pacific Rim countries to the spread of Islam in seventh century Europe to landforms in western Australia to methods of social science research. I sensed no coherence, connections, or rationale from the questions. Rather, it felt like high stakes Trivial Pursuit or Jeopardy, based on a limitless universe of possible questions, including some that were simply wrong. One question, for example, insisted that Puerto Ricans who settled in the northeastern U.S. from 1945-1990 are "immigrants". But Puerto Rico is a U.S. commonwealth. Was this a deep question, a trick question, a careless question, or an ignorant question? How will responses to this question be scored, and how should those scores then be interpreted?
