Riassunto

Prepare the next generation of educators to effectively teach multilingual students classified as English language learners (ELLs) with this comprehensive fourth edition of a cornerstone text. Written by one of today’s leading authors and researchers on ELL and bilingual education, this is the authoritative textbook for getting K–12 teachers and administrators ready to meet state competency requirements and help their multilingual students thrive.

Designed for foundations courses in both undergraduate and graduate programs, this core text has been fully updated with the latest research, theory, policies, key topics, and recommended practices. Future educators will learn how to integrate ELL-classified students into their classes, use students’ home languages as resources for learning, plan rigorous standards-aligned language and literacy instruction, make research-based decisions, differentiate core content-area instruction, and make effective use of new technologies.

Ideal for use as a textbook and a key professional reference, this book will help educators create linguistically and culturally responsive classrooms and schools that set ELL-classified students up for success.

• Timely new sections on the impacts of COVID-19, gifted and talented education for ELL-classified students, foundational skills for reading, writing tools, and artificial intelligence (AI) for teaching, learning, and assessment
