In this indispensable work, prominent authorities review the latest
research on all aspects of ELL instruction (K-12) and identify what
works for today's students and schools. Provided are best-practice
guidelines for targeting reading, writing, oral language, vocabulary,
content-domain literacies, and other core skill areas; assessing
culturally and linguistically diverse students; and building strong
school-home-community partnerships. Chapters include clear-cut
recommendations for teaching adolescent ELLs and those with learning
disabilities. The comprehensive scope, explicit linkages from research
to practice, and guidance for becoming a culturally informed, reflective
practitioner make the book an ideal course text.
