Foundations for Teaching English Language Learners

Research, Theory, Policy, and Practice

About this book

All teachers and administrators must know how to educate multilingual students, particularly English language learners!

Foundations for Teaching English Language Learners: Research, Theory, Policy, and Practice by Wayne E. Wright is a comprehensive course text on ELL education for pre-service elementary and secondary teachers as well as literacy, special education, English as a second language (ESL), and bilingual specialists. This foundational text also targets educational leaders, including coaches, counselors, directors, and administrators working toward equity and excellence in multilingual schools and communities.  This text prepares educators to meet state competency requirements in ELL education.
