FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

For teachers and teacher educators striving to address a growing number of state mandates relating to the education of English language learners (ELLs), Educating English Language Learners in an Inclusive Environment, Second Edition provides a reader-friendly survey of key topics, including: legal and professional imperatives, cultural concerns, linguistics, literacy instruction, assessment, policy, and politics. This overview will be useful to in-service teachers with little or no preparation for working with ELLs but who nevertheless face legislative demands to teach both academic content and English. It will also be useful to teacher educators trying to squeeze preparation for working with ELLs into already overflowing teacher preparation programs. Though many try, no one text can provide exhaustive information; there is simply too much to learn. This second edition instead provides readers with a road map to critical topics and to specific resources they can use independently to learn more, as they will surely need to do.

Review

"What sets this effort apart from others is that it takes on the task of having future teachers reflect and reconsider their attitudes towards language-minority students and in doing so, moves readers from thinking of language-minority students as being those students to being our students. [...] [T]his book has the power to shift both future and current educators' thinking on language-minority students."—Laura Ascenzi-Moreno, Education Review, October 2014"This book is an important tool for educators—those new and more seasoned—in the profession. Moving beyond the surface and interrogating moral, ethical, political and legal reasons to support immigrant students, this book provides powerful insights for educators committed to equity and justice as they build knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, mindsets, skills and actions necessary to meet the complex needs of students whose first language is not English. A call to action, a reason to be hopeful, and a resource for pedagogical transformation, Educating English Language Learners in an Inclusive Environment is the book to read for those of us who dare to care about, support, and work with immigrant communities."—H. Richard Milner IV, Cornelius Vanderbilt Endowed Chair of Education, Author of Rac(e)ing to Class
