The book, Teaching ELLs Across Content Areas: Issues and
Strategies, is a unique, useful text written for K-12 teachers.
This book is the culmination of the professional knowledge,
expertise, and experience from the distinguished authors who
represent the entire range of the content areas, including:
language arts, science, mathematics, technology, arts, psychology,
and Hispanic studies. The ELL school population has reached 5.3
million with the increase rate of 51 percent from School Yearr
1998-1999 to 2008-2009 (NCELA, 2012). By 2025, one out of four K-12
students will be ELLs (NEA Policy Brief, 2013). The NEA data states
that the ELLs are the fastest-growing student populatio n group in
our schools and providing them with high-quality services and
programs is an important investment in America's future (NEA Policy
Brief, 2013). With the fast growth of the ELLs in schools, basic
information and strategies are needed by all K-12 teachers. This
book provides useful information and strategies for all K-12
teachers in content classrooms. This book has three significances.
First, the book provides the most needed information for K-12
teachers with issues and strategies that are important in content
areas to help ELLs' success. With the fast growth of the ELLs in
schools, K-12 teachers need this information in conte nt
classrooms. Second, the book fills the gap related to teaching ELLs
in content areas. There are some existing books with titles on
teaching ELLs across content areas; yet, these books provide
general information with fewer books that really address specific
content topics. This book is unique because it has the dedicated
chapters for specific content areas, e.g., Language Arts, Science,
Math, Social Studies with issues and strategies in these respective
contents as well as general information, e.g., L2 theories for
teachers to know and work with ELLs. Third, the book is
reader-friendly with carefullycrafted chapters. Each chapter begins
with a scenario to catch the reader's attention, is followed by
issues and strategies, and ends with a summary. A scenario begins
with each chapter for teachers to get to know the ELLs with the
content that focuses on the related information and teaching
strategies. With the continued increase in the ELL school
population, this book is intended helping all K-12 teachers in
content areas have knowledge and stategies to better serve their
ELLs.
