All teachers and administrators must know how to educate multilingual students, particularly English language learners!
Foundations for Teaching English Language Learners: Research, Theory, Policy, and Practice by Wayne E. Wright is a comprehensive course text on ELL education for pre-service elementary and secondary teachers as well as literacy, special education, English as a second language (ESL), and bilingual specialists.

This text prepares educators to meet state competency requirements in ELL education.
