Teaching English Language Arts to English Language Learners

Reviews / Votes

"All of us in teacher education struggle with developing adequate methods to prepare teacher candidates for the reality of teaching students with diverse language abilities. Teaching English Language Arts to English Language Learners directly addresses this need with chapters that specifically connect to our methods courses. Such a book is long overdue, and I suspect the contents of these chapters will affect teacher educators, pre-service and in-service teachers in positive ways for years to come." (Michael Moore, Professor, Georgia Southern University, USA)

"This book provides a much-needed resource for teacher educators preparing teachers to work in the 21st century. The chapters in this book provide teacher educators with examples from teacher educators who have worked successfully to prepare pre- and in-service teachers to provide the educational supports that diverse students need. As well as providing information about how secondary English teachers are prepared nationwide, chapters in this book offer specific examples showing how teacher educators can incorporate practices in their courses that help pre- and in-service teachers support English learners in their own teaching." (Yvonne Freeman and David Freeman, Professors Emeriti, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, USA)
