Educating Second Language Children cover

This text brings together the work of 15 elementary education experts who support an integrative approach to educating second language children. The paperback edition is a collection of articles from fourteen elementary education experts who espouse an integrative approach to second language education - one that goes beyond language teaching methodology - to cover a wide range of issues affecting the academic and social success of language minority children. The volume deals not only with second language development, but with the development of the whole child. Rather than focusing on language instruction, it addresses the entire curriculum, and instead of restricting itself to classroom learning, it examines the role of the school, family, and community.

'[Educating Second Language Children] will be a well–used part of either a school resource collection or the professional library of committed ESL or other classroom teachers.' TESOL in Context, Vol 5, No 2, 1995
