Description
This hands-on book offers teachers a much-needed resource that willhelp maximize learning for English Language Learners (ELLs). Howto Teach English Language Learners draws on two wide-rangingteacher quality studies and profiles eight educators who haveachieved exceptional results with their ELL students. Throughhighly readable portraits, the authors take readers into theseteachers' classrooms, illustrating richly what it is they dodifferently that yields such great results from English learners.Because most teachers profiled work within a three-tieredResponse-to-Intervention framework, the book shows how to implementRTI effectively with ELLs--from providing general readinginstruction for the entire classroom to targeted interventions withstruggling students. Written by noted ELL educators Diane Haager,Janette K. Klingner, and Terese Aceves, How to Teach EnglishLanguage Learners is filled with inspiring success stories,teaching tips, activities, discussion questions, and reflectionsfrom these outstanding teachers.
