Book description
This hands-on book offers teachers a much-needed resource that will
help maximize learning for English Language Learners (ELLs).
How to Teach English Language Learners
draws on two wide-ranging teacher quality studies and profiles eight
educators who have achieved exceptional results with their ELL students.
Through highly readable portraits, the authors take readers into these
teachers' classrooms, illustrating richly what it is they do differently
that yields such great results from English learners. Because most
teachers profiled work within a three-tiered Response-to-Intervention
framework, the book shows how to implement RTI effectively with
ELLs-from providing general reading instruction for the entire classroom
to targeted interventions with struggling students. Written by noted ELL
educators Diane Haager, Janette K. Klingner, and Terese Aceves, How
to Teach English Language Learners
is filled with inspiring success stories, teaching tips, activities,
discussion questions, and reflections from these outstanding teachers.
