This comprehensive volume describes evidence-based strategies for
supporting English language learners (ELLs) by promoting meaningful
communication and language use across the curriculum. Leading
experts explain how and why learning is different for ELLs and
pinpoint specific best practices for the classroom, illustrated
with vivid examples. Particular attention is given to ways in which
learning English is intertwined with learning the student's home
language. The book addresses both assessment and instruction for
typically developing ELLs and those with language disabilities and
disorders. It demonstrates how educators and speech-language
professionals can draw on students' linguistic, cognitive,
sociocultural, and family resources to help close the achievement
gap. This title is part of the Social Work Practice With Children
and Families Series, edited by Nancy Boyd Webb.
