Nearly three-quarters of public schools in the United States enroll
English language learners (ELLs). That means teachers at all grade
levels need to know how to help these students achieve full
academic English language proficiency. In Dispelling Misconceptions
About English Language Learners, Barbara Gottschalk dispels 10
common misconceptions about ELLs and gives teachers the information
they need to help their ELLs succeed in the classroom. From her
perspective as a teacher of English as a second language,
Gottschalk answers several key questions: Just who is an English
language learner? Why is it important to support home language
maintenance and promote family engagement? What are the
foundational principles for instruction that help educators teach
ELLs across the content areas? How can teachers recognize and
incorporate the background knowledge and experiences ELLs bring to
class? Why is it important to maintain high standards and
expectations for all students, including ELLs? How can a teacher
tell when an ELL needs special education versus special teaching?
By answering these questions, and more, Gottschalk gives teachers a
crystal-clear understanding of how to reach ELLs at each stage of
English language acquisition. Her expert guidance reinforces for
teachers what they are already doing right and helps them
understand what they might need to be doing differently.
