When They Don't All Speak English: Integrating the ESL Student Into the Regular Classroom

Collaboratively compiled and edited by educators Pat Rigg (American Language and Literacy, Tucson) and Virginia G. Allen (The Ohio State University), When They Don't All Speak English: Integrating The Esl Student Into The Regular Classroom presents a variety of essays by nine experienced and knowledgeable contributors concerning the practical realities of teaching in a traditional classroom when only some of the students speak English as a first language. Addressing such topics as the language experience approach, using literature to support language acquisition, the cognitive academic language learning approach, helping ESL high school students achieve success, and much more, When They Don't All Speak English is very highly recommended for all teachers who are working with English As A Second Language (ESL) students.
