Definition(s)

  • Since the beginning of her professional life, Muriel Saville-Troike has been a staunch defender of language minority children's rights to preserve their heritage language and receive a good education. Born on August 8, 1936, in Sacramento, California, she later worked as a teacher of children of migrant farm workers in California, where she sidestepped the English-only rule and used the children's native Spanish in her kindergarten classroom to assist their learning.
