Description

"Bring the English language to life with this valuable new resource! Some say that learning a second language is like drinking water from a fire hose. But teaching it does not have to be like standing under Niagara Falls. This is the fundamental message of Jerry Jesness' new quick-start guide Teaching English Language Learners K-12. In our climate, ESL teachers face immense demands as educators because the ESL class is often the critical, transitional step into a student's entire education. The author provides specific strategies to address the special challenges for instructors. This valuable resource offers a terrific framework to nurture that motivating spark in ESL learners. For ESL educators, it's more than a job, it's a mission! Teaching English Language Learners K-12 includes: Customizing instructions to create developmentally and culturally appropriate lessons for all learners; Comprehensive vocabulary checklists for common English words and concepts; Practical methods focusing the learner's native language and culture in the classroom; Helpful strategies for teaching spoken English, reading, and writing; Encouraging tips to become a better ESL teacher." -- Publisher.
