Rising enrollments of students for whom English is not a first
language mean that every teacher – whether teaching kindergarten or
high school algebra – is a language teacher. This book explains what
teachers need to know about language in order to be more effective in
the classroom, and it shows how teacher education might help them gain
that knowledge. It focuses especially on features of academic English
and gives examples of the many aspects of teaching and learning to
which language is key. This second edition reflects the now greatly
expanded knowledge base about academic language and classroom
discourse, and highlights the pivotal role that language plays in
learning and schooling. The volume will be of interest to teachers,
teacher educators, professional development specialists,
administrators, and all those interested in helping to ensure student
success in the classroom and beyond.
