I recently met Dr. Tracey Tokuhama-Espinosa who is the Director of the Center for Educational Development in Quito, Ecuador and Professor of Education, at the University of San Francisco de Quito. She is the author of several books, Living Languages: Multilingualism Across the Lifespan (Praeger, 2007), Raising Multilingual Children: Foreign Language Acquisition and Children (Bergin and Garvey, 2000) and The Multilingual Mind: Issues Discussed by, for, and about People Living with Many Languages (Praeger, 2003). I have been a fan of her writing for a number of years.
Tracey was telling me that the focus of her new work is in the areas of Mind, Brain, and Education. In 2009 she will have a new book published entitled The Scientifically Substantiated Art of Teaching.
There seem to be so many natural synergies between her work and research and the work that we are doing. I am looking forward to the publication of her new book.
