Description: "This is the book that teachers and others working with Turkish speaking children and young people have long needed. The author's academic rigour combined with his insider knowledge of family, culture and work, affords readers real understanding of a community which has been in Britain for half a century, but about which there is little research and for whom there is scant learning support." "Talking Turkey will be essential reading for all who work with Turkish speakers and will be of interest to teacher trainers, educational policy makers and to the Turkish communities."--Jacket.
