Literacy Essentials for English Language Learners: Successful Transitions (Language & Literacy Series) (Language and Literacy Series (Teachers College Pr))
This new book in The Practitioner’s Bookshelf Series provides research-based best practices for teaching English Language Learners in kindergarten through 5th grade. The authors demonstrate how to build on ELL students language skills, how to explain the many idiosyncrasies of the English language and U.S. school culture, and how to involve students in their own learning encouraging them to express themselves in many ways, including in their native language. This hands-on text features sample lessons and children’s literature that can be used to help ELL students develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in school.
Teaching English Language Learners through Technology (Teaching English Language Learners Across the Curriculum)
In Teaching English Language Learners through Technology, the authors explore the use of computers/technology as a pedagogical tool to aid in the appropriate instruction of ELLs across all content areas. The special focus of this book is on the informed use of various technologies and software programs that can specifically aid ELLs. Strategies are also provided for varying levels of access–whether teachers teach in a one computer classroom, have access to multiple computers, or have the ability to go into a computer lab at their school. A fully annotated list of web and print resources completes the volume, making this a valuable reference to help teachers harness the power of computer-assisted technologies in meeting the challenges of including all learners in effective instruction.
