Abstract/Notes: Abbiamo da New York che è colà sbarcata, provniente da Bordeaux a bordo del vapore "Espanos", la celebre educatrice italiana Dott. Maria Montessori, la ideatrice del nuovo sistema didattico che da lei ha preso il nome. La Dott. Montessori passò l'inverno a Barcellona insegnando in base al suo sistema. Ella, adesso, sopraintenderà ai lavori scolastici del Montessori Normal College che si aprirà a New York fra giorni e la cui direzione è affidata a Miss Parkhurst che accompagna la celebre educatrice. La Dottoressa resterà a New York tutto l'inverno e non è improbabile che si decida anche a fare un'altra visita anche all nostra California. [We have from New York who disembarked there, coming from Bordeaux on board the steamer "Espanos", the famous Italian educator Dr. Maria Montessori, the creator of the new teaching system which took its name from her. Dr. Montessori spent the winter in Barcelona teaching according to her system. She will now supervise the school work of the Montessori Normal College which will open in New York in a few days and whose direction is entrusted to Miss Parkhurst who accompanies the famous educator. The Doctor will remain in New York all winter and it is not unlikely that she will also decide to pay another visit to our California too.]

Abstract/Notes: This study investigated the use of directives by three bilingual Korean American children and their families in central New Jersey in the contexts of home and school. Directives are a crucial part of language socialization in the home (Bhimji, 2002; Blum-Kulka, 1997; Kent, 2012) and they are a critical part of the teacher’s repertoire in the classroom since directives aid teachers in the daily task of instructing the learning processes of students (Waring & Hruska, 2012). While directives play an important role in the language socialization practices of children in the home and school, there is little research on how directives are used by bilingual children in both settings of home and school. The study addressed this gap in research by examining the directive repertoires of three bilingual Korean American children and their families in their homes and by analyzing how the children’s directive repertoires intersected with the use of directives in their preschool classroom. The study consisted of an eight-month ethnography of three Korean American children and their families. The participants included three Korean American children, their parents, siblings, and teachers in their preschool class. The children were recruited from a preschool class in which the researcher had previously volunteered. The data was collected through field observations in the three homes and preschool class, interviews of children, parents, and teachers, and a collection of material artifacts in order to capture the use of directives of participants. All observations were audio-and video-recorded. The study contributed to an increased understanding of the bilingualism and biculturalism of Korean American children with a focus on their use of directives. It also shed light on the educational experiences and challenges of bilingual Korean American children in a monolingual preschool class. The study has implications for families and teachers of young bilingual children and learners of English in preschool.
