The first handbook to explore the field of Teaching English to
Speakers of Other Languages in elementary and secondary education
(K-12)
The number of students being educated in English has grown significantly
in modern times -- globalization, immigration, and evolving educational
policies have prompted an increased need for English language learner
(ELL) education. The Handbook of TESOL in K-12 combines contemporary
research and current practices to provide a comprehensive overview of
the origins, evolution, and future direction of Teaching English to
Speakers of Other Languages at the elementary and secondary levels
(K-12). Exploring the latest disciplinary and interdisciplinary issues
in the field, this is a first-of-its-kind Handbook and contributions
are offered from a team of internationally-renowned scholars.
Comprehensive in scope, this essential Handbook covers topics ranging
from bilingual language development and technology-enhanced language
learning, to ESOL preparation methods for specialist and mainstream
teachers and school administrators. Three sections organize the content
to cover Key Issues in Teaching ESOL students in K-12, Pedagogical
Issues and Practices in TESOL in K-12 Education, and School Personnel
Preparation for TESOL in K-12.
