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.
