A Course for Teaching English Learners

Pre-service and in-service teachers get the background principles and practical classroom techniques they need to successfully teach all English learners. Fundamental principles combine with practical classroom techniques to equip teachers to work successfully with the increasing number of English learners in today's U.S. elementary and secondary schools. The author provides a wealth of background principles underlying the cultural, linguistic, and sociocultural context and foundations of learning and provides a comprehensive framework that focuses on more than just reading and writing. Unique to this text is its flexible, comprehensive underlying framework that outlines both psychological and sociocultural contexts for English language acquisition and structured content delivery across the elementary, middle, and high school levels.
