Quality instruction requires an understanding of the language demands of learning. This is an essential book that provides extraordinary resources for educators, striking a chord with anyone who cares about learning for all children (not just those who are learning English as an additional language). * Young-Suk Grace Kim, University of California, Irvine, USA * The second edition of What Teachers Need to Know About Language is an outstanding volume that makes a significant contribution to the field in so many ways, furthering our understanding of the issues surrounding what teachers need to know about language to be effective educators in today's K12 public school climate. Reading this book is like discovering a goldmine and I am eager to discuss it with colleagues at my institution. * MaryAnn Christison, University of Utah, USA *More details
